It is the mission of Mush For a Cure to raise awareness of and raise funds to find a cure for  breast cancer through annual pledge/tribute runs by dog team.

What is Mush For a Cure? Mush For a Cure is a non-competitive sled dog FUNdraiser with proceeds donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Mush For a Cure is not a race, it is a fun event to celebrate the sport of dog mushing and to cap off a winter of hard work, training and racing while raising funds to find a cure for breast cancer. In 2011 our participants raised over $28,000 in pledges and a check for $32,000 was sent to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. To date Mush For a Cure has donated an amazing $100,000. Our goal this year is to raise another $30,000!
