The Iditarod is the great marathon of winter sports, covering 1,100 miles of frozen Alaskan wilderness and offering an exceptional test of bravery and endurance for dogsled teams and the racers. This video chronicles the extraordinary efforts of veteran Iditarod racer Dee Dee Jonrowe, whose generous spirit, personal warmth and integrity have earned her humanitarian awards and wide recognition for her humane treatment of her dogsled team.
