Iditarod-Aurora Cancer Poster -- Proceeds automatically sent to Cancer charities
"Teamwork, Motivation, Inspiration"
Surrounding the main image are the hands of 37 mushers showing the hard knocks they took pushing through the heart of darkness to reach their goal.
Printed on 100lb coated paper, this is the second poster in the series created by photographer Ron Levy of Alaska,
who has been photographing the race since the 1980s. Ron's images of the
race and other causes have appeared in magazines, Fortune 500
publications, billboards, TV and other media worldwide. (see eBay>www.ronlevyphoto.com/posters/Iditarod)
After
his mother died of cancer in 2004, he became obsessed with supporting
cancer patients through his imagery. He has also helped several NGOs
around the world (notably in Thailand, Ecuador and Mexico) with images,
publicity, translations, brochures and much of his time and effort.
"Each cancer patient goes through their own Iditarod. This race exemplifies the triumph in overcoming tremendous obstacles that cause most people to throw in the towel"
All the mushers, and anyone going through hard times, needs a team on their side and a lot of motivation to carry them through.
