I live with my husband Matt and daughter Sylvia near Grand Marais with our kennel of 30 Alaskan huskies. We have been racing for 15 years. When not racing, I work as a nurse at the hospital in Grand Marais. This will be my seventh Beargrease marathon. Last year my team placed second, and I look forward to seeing what we can do this season.
What a sled dog looks forward to most after a long day of racing is a nice bed of straw! But guess what happened at last year’s race? Someone stole all our straw right before the race start! Thankfully, great fans like you helped us out during the final hour to provide this vital supply for our amazing dogs.
These dogs simply are the best – and we want to be able to continue treating them that way! Donations from fans like you make that possible. Would you find it in your heart to help us out? No amount is too small in sled dog world!
