Since 1999, Tanya and her husband Hank have shared their passion for dogsledding. Their race team competes in the Yukon Quest 1000-mile International Sled Dog Race & Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. The couple, their four children and 150 Siberian Huskies love introducing worldwide guests to the amazing adventure of dogsledding and the beautiful Canadian wilderness.\ Tanya: We have had the pleasure of sharing our stories and messages around our lives and 1000 mile races with our huskies with over 30 Rotary clubs in Canada the last 2 months. With our dogsled tour business being shut down much of the winter, we are focusing on speaking to grow that division of our business. We share powerful stories and lessons around our huskies, quitting our jobs to move to the wilderness to build a business and our big races in Alaska and the Yukon.
