My blog site is for all and I hope to showcase/expose you to some very unique people; places, and events as I can.
Here is a gal, Val Dockter, with a vision whom I met last year. Val has raised, (and is now training), this most wonderful sled dog team solely by herself on a meager income and works her "CREW" whenever possible with other mushers. (It is said you can hear her laughing daily while out and about on her make-shift sled during the off season.)
Her vision is to create a snow dog team that will be able to supply foods and other goods of comfort to people in remote areas who become snowbound in the winter months. Also to expose young and old persons to this fine art of man and his/her faithful companions in a symbiotic relationship. To work with children (some perhaps with special needs), to create a sense of responsibility and pride while cultivating their dreams and aspire to all they can be with hands-on training or guidance utilizing her "Beloved Crew" when and as possible.
To cultivate a sense of commUNITY (common unity) within the communities where she shows, races, and orchestrate these teachings.
This gal Val has a dream; a vision; a quest, and by gollie she's making it happen! I, for one, stand up and applaud this most courageous woman. GO GET'EM VAL......
P.S. and to the wonderful man who has supplied her with the furs to wear and keep others warm while in the sled, we are truly humbled and send our deepest heart-felt blessings. AHO
