LEWISTON — Patrick Dempsey, the actor, producer and race car driver whose namesake Dempsey Challenge is less than three days away, will appear on ABC’s “GMA Day” Wednesday.

Dempsey is expected to talk about the two-day fundraising and the Dempsey Centers in Lewiston and South Portland, which are bolstered by the Challenge and provide free nonmedical services, programs, education and support to those affected by cancer.
