Bob Craward, president of the Club’s Manitoba Chap ter, will make the 800 km run, dubbed ‘“Mushing for Mira cles” from February 9 - 23. He and his team of eight Siberian Huskies leave Winnipeg February 9, pro ceeding to Portage la Prairie, Neepawa and Dauphin then down to Selkirk by February 23. Draward will stop in Dauphin on February 15 and 16. Draward says Club mem bers hope to raise $50,000 for the Canadian Cancer Socie ty’s cancer research and Camps for Kids for children with cancer. “We're doing a lot to market the event to the public and get pledges. We’ve done shopping mall displays with the dogs and have gotten a lot of support from the media so far,” he said. “Some of the communities along the route are planning special events to raise money for us as well.” For more information about Mushing for Miracles contact your local Canadian Cancer Society office, or the Manitoba Division office in Winnipeg.
