Dee Dee began mushing in 1979 and became interested in the Iditarod after her mother shared her interest in the race while Dee Dee lived in Bethel.

Dee Dee says, "I am excited to enter the new millennium's first Iditarod race. I have had many successes and disappointments in the past 17 years but one element has remained consistent. I have always tried to do my very best and I have always enjoyed the special bond and love that I have shared with my dogs. It has been my privilege to share this unique experience with the volunteers and race fans.
