Mushing for Hope A Cancer Trek Reaches Russell
UK native Wendy Smith and her four person, 19 dog team arrive in Russell after a Maine to Bering Sea trek to raise cancer awareness and funds. Donations from Major Pratt council Lions and Elks Clubs total 300 as part of a broader five figure surge while crews cope with mechanical setbacks and strong volunteer support along the route. Smith, diagnosed with non Hodgkins lymphoma a decade ago, is now cancer free and credits belief in recovery alongside family support.
