I’m from a small town in southeast Saskatchewan. I started running sled dogs when I was twelve years old, and that passion has only grown with time. Beyond mushing, I play football on an all-girls high school team. I also spend a lot of time hunting with my dad and older sister. Most days, you’ll find us in the driveway with something we’ve brought home — either skinning a beaver, fleshing a moose hide, or skinning a roadkill animal. I also work at the local vet clinic, and it’s definitely an adventure every single day working there.

The “goodest” dogs
Need your help

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!
