This morning in the paper, an obituary was shown in the sports section. Four time Iditarod winner Susan Butcher died of cancer in a hospital late Saturday August 5, 2006. She always gave credit to her dogs every time she won and was always modest about it. One of the top racers in the sport, she will be deeply missed.

Here is a picuture of the late great racer:

I surprisingly haven't heard about that, but I'm glad that someone made a topic about it. That truly is sad...she'll be in my prayers.

Not trying to Mod, but there's another topic like this, too.

I am very saddened by the loss of Susan.

Yes, I'm on many Iditarod email lists, as I am very big fan of mushing and the Iditarod, and this spread like wildfire. This was very unfortunate as she put a very long brave fight against her leaukemia. She was an inspiration to many many people the Iditarod, mushing community, and the World would not be the way it is today if it was not for Susan. She left behind two daughters and a husband if I remember correctly. Atleast now she's at peace and can mush her team home in their silver harneses.

Prayers to Susan's family and friends

Mitch Albom, whom has covered the Iditarod in 1991, wrote a column in today's Detroit Free Press. Here is a link to the story[: http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060813/SPORTS18/608130626/1066/SPORTS
