	Kim Franklin, 41, was born and raised in the U.K, where she has been a farmer for the last six years. She began mushing in 1988 and says she started thinking about the Iditarod when she bought her first malamute. "Everyone has to have a dream in their life, preparing for and completing the Iditarod is mine. I first visited Alaska to follow the 2002 Iditarod and returned to the UK knowing that one day I would return to race against the legendary mushers that I had watched so closely. This will be the biggest challenge that I have ever faced, and I relish the opportunity to test myself to the limit. I dedicate my race to my mother and father, who have both passed on since my first visit to Alaska." Kim is a member of the National Farmers Union and the Racehorse Owners Association. She says she enjoys horse racing and fine dining.
