Liz Parrish had three goals for running the Iditarod: train her own team, complete the Iditarod for her 50th birthday, and have fun! Leaving a successful corporate career and starting with zero sled dog experience, she spent a decade building and training her own sled dog team. Liz and her team finished the 2008 Iditarod in 14 days with 14 dogs, despite being "Iditarod's Littlest Musher." Siberian Huskies have been her passion for over 20 years. Barb and her dogs have been featured on Discovery Channel's Animal Planet among others. She raised and trained Jasmine who played the lead dog in Disney's Eight Below. Barb is a 10-year Iditarod volunteer, which gave her invaluable insights into the relationships between sled dogs and their mushers. Today, as co-owners of Life]]Through Dogs, Liz and Barb teach people how to "Be The Lead Dog" with real-world practical applications in their own personal and corporate lives. See less
