Mushing

Approximately 3 years ago, my son, Michael, got
me interested.

.."A person has to start somewhere".
General Information:
Write a little
about yourself, your background, your dogs and why you have signed
up for the 2008 All Alaska Sweepstakes:
The moto of my life
is "What one man can do, another can do." Charles
Morse, played by Sir Anthony Hopkins, in the movie The Edge.
My dogs are not only my teammates but are my friends. We are entering
upon this journey together and we will finish together.
I am entering the All Alaska Sweepstakes race because of it's
rich historical significance to the dog racing world and because
of it's challenge to me, personally.
