Shipping day!!! One of my favorite days is sending collars out 💚🐾🐾

This is one of my reasons for LUTLD - keeping our Jr mushers and their teams safe. And why I'm so determined to do even more this next racing season.

Thank you to Alaska Snowmachine Alliance for supporting me this season and partnering to get trail safety info and collars out. We were able to provide just under 200 collars, in total and hand out hundreds of trail safety and awareness brochures. I never imagined we would have been able to do this!

Thank you to all that have supported us!!

I'm working on a project. I need photos and videos from any mushers that have received collars from us.
Please share this with mushers you know, as well.
Thank you!! 💚🐾🐾

When you find a very special gift inside the "end of the season" box of collars...
I cannot thank Joanna Suan from Head-Lites enough for everything she has done to support my efforts to get collars out to teams 💚🐕🐾🐾
My girls are going to be looking great and lit up for safety, as well.

74 more collars shipping out Wed from Head-Lites!! Should be here next week. This will be the last big order until closer to fall.
We will be doing fundraising between now and Sept to be ready for the next season ahead of time so there's no waiting for collars.
But, that doesn't mean that our focus on trail safety ends any time soon. We have "rack cards" for any business or trail related organization that would like them. We are distributing free of charge, just request them.
Alaska Snowmachine Alliance partnered with us in this endeavor and it's been awesome to see the 2 communities coming together ❤️

From season end, to beginning of next season, Light Up The Lead Dogs & Alaska Snowmachine Alliance will be continuing fundraising so we can be ready with far more collars this fall. We also will continue focusing on trail safety and multi use trail awareness.
I want to especially be able to make sure Jr mushers, village mushers and multi use trail users are lit up, as well as any other mushers.
Please watch for ways to support us.
I have trail safety rack cards (brochures) available for any business or mushing association that would like Them.
We are proud to be supporting the MUTT - Multi Users of Talkeetna Trails races this weekend here in Talkeetna and are always looking for local K9 related events to be a part of.

The Alaska Snowmachine Alliance and Light Up the Lead Dogs are hosting a fundraiser! Our goal is to raise funds to provide Light-Up Collars for the lead dogs of mushing teams.
