Four-time Iditarod Champion Susan Butcher passed away from cancer this week. It's a sad day.
As a kid, she was one of my hero's- turning her back on an easy life-style and taking on the hardest race in the world, winning four times. But she was also a great role model for people everywhere, like my daughter, because she was in incredible woman that never quit. There just don't seem to be role models like her around anymore, and so the loss of a person like her is a huge loss for all of us.
Thanks Susan, sorry to see you go...
