25th Anniversary Iditarod Teacher on the Trail

The Iditarod celebrates its 25th Anniversary of the Teacher on the Trail program. We talk with Jane Holmes, the Director of Education of the Iditarod Trail Committee, and former Teachers on the Trail who have used the Iditarod as an exciting educational tool for many disciplines for their students. 

The Iditarod excites young people and the program is growing. Why? Because it's fun!

Polar Bear Jump Off Stories!

/

10 years ago Christie jumped at the Polar Bear Jump Off in Seward in memory of Joe Krones' brother, Jimmy. Christie never knew Jimmy or the Krones family. But that's the heart Christie has in the fight against cancer and why she's raised about a quarter million dollars over 21 years of jumps!

Today's show Christie and Joe meet for the first time.

Christie is from Homer and on the rescue team for sea otter and seal pups. 

Joe lives in Oklahoma City and is a Barbershop Quartet International Gold Medalist.

Such diverse lives with one thing in common - the Polar Bear Jump Off and the fight against cancer!
