2011 Iditarod - Mitch Seavey headed back to Anchorage

2011 Iditarod News, March 10, 2011 - As I reported earlier today, Mitch Seavey was badly injured when cutting open a bail of hay this morning.

I just read in a story on the Alaska Dispatch website that he is headed for surgery in Anchorage, Alaska in an attempt to save the finger that he cut this morning.

I wish Mr. Seavey the best of luck. I know he doesn't know me, but I've met him a couple of times, and everyone in his family and kennel has been very nice to me.

If you're interested in more details, there's more information about Mitch Seavey at the bottom of this Alaska Dispatch article.
