Although Lance Mackey is not coming home with the EPSY award "Best Outdoor Athlete" that he was so honored to be nominated for, he is still proud to have been considered and thrilled to have been invited to Hollywood where he has been mingling with champs in all sports. "It's just a pleasure to be among them" Lance smiles "In my wildest dreams I would not have guessed I'd be here. It's not just about the award, we have raised a good some of money participating in things like the ESPY Celebrity Golf Classic for the V Foundation for Cancer Research. That is ten fold more important to me".
Lance spent the entire week prior to the trip taking golf lessons in
Fairbanks so he could understand the game. "I"m not a golfer, I'd
played twice before this invitation, so I figured I better at least
know SOMETHING before I hit the ball". Alaskans and mushing fans around
the world already know he's a champ and an incrediable athlete.
