Well, thanks to all of the caring folks here at Hutchison, the wonderful school I'm lucky enough to teach at, it looks like the Yukon Quest 300 is a definite! Good thing too, since not only myself, but other teachers plan to use the race, race footage/pictures, etc. in their lessons. What more could a girl ask for, but to bring her passion for sled dogs in to her other passion of teaching?!? This is GREAT!!!! Slowly but surely, support from my fantastic co-workers is adding up to give me the funds needed to enter and race the Quest 300. Look out, Trail! We have some unfinished business, you and I!!
I'm still a ways from my goal, but with all of the support I'm getting from friends, parents and co-workers, I KNOW we'll make it. Manny went over the sled and discovered that we need to replace some plastic, the bits on the brake, etc. to make it safer/sturdier for the race. Plus, a few harnesses need repairs, as a few dogs got "chew happy". If we can raise enough money, then I'll replace those things. If not, then we'll make due. At this point, with so many people counting on me to run this race, I just HAVE to go!
Manny is off training the main team, I'm off to pick up hay for the hay burners (Dang that Druid! He's eating his shelter, the rotund pig with fur!), then pick the boys up from school. Keep checking back, as I add new names to the sponsor list and get that much closer to running the Quest 300!!! :o)
