Iditarod Tidbits: Lance Mackey (4-time winner) About Life on the Sidelines

This man has faced more adversity than most. Read his story here.

Excerpt:

After that 2001 throat cancer diagnosis, Mackey was known as a survivor. He beat cancer, and hit the sled dog trail. Winning four Yukon Quests and four Iditarods, back-to-back. In 2007 he was the first musher to win both 1,000-plus mile races in the same year. Then he did it again in 2008.

Then, Mackey’s trail got a little rocky.

He's definitely been through the ringer. Prayers as he fights cancer yet again.
