Susan Butcher, Champion Iditarod Trail Sled Dog racer dies


Susan Butcher, champion of the 1,100-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog race, died of leukemia (AML) on Saturday, August 5. She was age 51 from complications of a recent bone marrow stem-cell transplant. Susan's multiple wins at the Iditarod helped inspired the phrase "Alaska: Where the Men are Men and the Women Win the Iditarod."
