Grace Soares, a freshman at Windham High School, has a lot to be excited about today. She's going to meet Patrick Dempsey this weekend at the Dempsey Challenge for sending us her video of juggling on the Q97.9 app.

Patrick Dempsey is coming back to his home state of Maine for the Dempsey Challenge. How would you like to meet him? Then let the juggling begin.

The 8th annual Dempsey Challenge is coming in October to raise money for the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope and Healing. It's a weekend full of fun, emotion, and community as people come from all over the state in support of the same cause.

Fans who crush on Maine's own Patrick Dempsey have only dreamed of being able to hug and kiss McDreamy. This guy has done it. Twice.
