On January 6, 2007 local sprint musher Kelly Wright's niece, Daiquiri age 4, nephew Christopher age 2 and their cousins Amber and Matthew where caught in a house Fire in Eagle River, Alaska while visiting their relatives. Sadly, Matthew died in the fire and the other three children are in critical condition at Seattle's Harborview Burn Center.
These children received very terrible burns and have a very long road ahead of them. Although the Shriners and the Red Cross have helped with lodging for the parents in Washington the costs of transportation and the loss of being able to work while at the childrens bedside is staggering. Daiquiri and Amber will be there for at least two months and Christopher may be there for up to a year, family members must stay with them.

| The best thing we can do in my opinion is pray for this family and the recovery of good health for those precious children. It is hard to accept tragedies like this, and it is beyond understanding; the best we can do is pray and help in any way possible. I understand a fund is being set up for them. If any person has further news on their welfare, needs, or the fund, please advise. Runswithwolves |
