Quoted from Mark Gillet who lead the media team for the 2012 YQ:

I watched as each musher copes with the challenges of such a gruelling race, all dealing with it in different ways. But one musher grabbed my attention: Canada Goose ambassador, Lance Mackey (http://markgillett.wordpress.com/2012/0 ... ce-mackey/). Lance is an extraordinary man in many ways. He has battled life with cancer and overcome the worst. His passion for life, his dogs and his whole being is undeniable. He comes into checkpoints always available for a quick chat no matter how exhausted. He sleeps little and moves on at the earliest possible time. He laughs a lot and enjoys his followers. His passion for his team and his dedication to their well-being is strongly felt by anyone who meets him. He grows on me and I understand the Goose relationship more.

Alrighty Paw! Guess you're rooting for Curt Perano this year too? And I was woo hooing over Bret McKenzie winning an Oscar. Go NZ! (forgive the OT blurb).
