Team Pink Alaska
Posted on Tue, Feb 10, 2009

Providence Imaging Center was proud to support Team Pink AK, the only all female Trail Class Irondog team in this year's event. Here is what they share about themselves:
"I am Issa Otten (pictured left) and my partner is Faby Membrilia (pictured right)
and we are Team Pink, the only women's team in the 2009 Tesoro Irondog. And the third all women's team to ever attempt this extreme snowmachine race in 26 years. We are looking for sponsors and donations to help raise funds for us to race and to raise awareness for breast cancer. A portion of the funds raised will be donated to Breast Cancer Focus Inc, to keep the money in state."
Their race began Friday, Feb 6, in Wasilla and was to culminate more than 1,000 miles later, in Nome . Unfortunately, their trek was cut short in Ruby and they were not able to complete the race. For more information about Team Pink, and more details of their IronDog experience, visit their Website.
