About the Author Liz Parrish had three goals for running the Iditarod: train her own team, complete the 2008 Iditarod for her 50th birthday, and have fun! From a difficult start beating childhood cancer, and chronic health conditions such as fibromyalgia and a blood clotting disorder, she thrives while seeking challenges. The cancer treatments left her with a significantly compromised spine that has both been a test for her active lifestyle and an incredible source of strength. Starting with zero sled dog experience, she spent a decade building and training her own sled dog team towards her goal. Liz and her team finished the 2008 Iditarod in 14 days with 14 dogs, in spite of being seriously injured early in the race and being "Iditarod s Littlest Musher." Liz spent a lifetime preparing for the challenge of the Iditarod, and she lives by the motto, "Quitting is NOT an option." Co-author Jan Kelley credits the animals who have graced her life for teaching her about patience, determination and persistence. Crimp s story touched her heart from the time she first heard about the puppy with a dented nose who broke his toe. She is Crimp s #1 fan and was even more thrilled than Crimp when he made it to the Iditarod.
