New LIVESTRONG Lance Mackey Video

June 29, 2009 | Tags: , , ,

A story came to us this morning via Twitter that we thought was worth sharing. Fairbanks musher Lance Mackey sent along a link to one of the latest videos from LIVESTRONG.org. In it he tells the story of how he faced cancer, the end of his mushing career and came back to be a three-time Iditarod champion.

Lance is also a four-time Yukon Quest champ. Dubbed the “toughest sled dog race in the world” it runs from Fairbanks to Whitehorse Yukon. Two of Mackey’s Iditarod wins came just days after winning the Quest. People said that couldn’t be done…so Lance did it twice to prove them wrong.
