Light a Candle

[sugarriver]

Thanks for the bump mama - I was going to, but being a newbie, I wasn't sure if I should. One doesn't want to dwell on the sadness, but I know we all feel despair and support for those affected so far. Trying to keep this forum positive and supportive makes it a toss-up whether to call attention to it - but it WAS getting lost on page 2! And thanks for posting the link in the first place. It has helped for the last three days.

sugarriver,

Thanks for your support of this thread. And don't ever hesitate to bump anything you want to. The threads belong to all of us.... newbies and old crones like me alike. I've been trying to keep this thread on the front page throughout the race without being pushy about it but with all the excitement of today it slipped to page 2 while I was at work.

Welcome to the forum.

Not sure if this the right place, but oh well..

There is a third dog (it's the third, I think?) who is gone. Cargo on Iten's team passed away between Elim and White Mountain yesterday.
We might want to light a candle for him as well..

Oh no Mira, sorry to hear that, poor Ed!

Poor Ed.

Also, don't forget all the teams still on the trail.

our lantern is still burning..11 days now and we wil keep it lit till the last musher crosses the line. you can get the oil burning ones quite cheap, we have had it in the window upstairs in the flat above the pub, its gonna be a tradition now that we light it for the quest, irod and sweeps and add the race and winner to the side of the lantern.
