Welcome.....
Bruce Linton lives his life by example. An insulin-dependent Type 1 diabetic for 15 years, Bruce has successfully completed 12 marathons, three Ironman Triathlons, two 1,000 mile Iditarod dog sled races and hundreds of other athletic events all while effectively managing his diabetes. He is a firm believer that diabetics should not be restricted by their medical condition and that they should maintain an active lifestyle, live life with a positive mental attitude, and dream big. “A diabetic should not be limited by his disease. He is only limited by his dreams and as a diabetic ones dreams should be unlimited!” The journey continues…

Discovery Channel Documents Iditarod

Discovery Channel Documents Iditarod Bruce Linton will be one of seven “primary characters” featured in a new six part Discovery Channel series on last years Iditarod race.

Says Bruce “I’m in good company. The show will feature Lance Mackey, Jeff King, Martin Buser, Dee Dee Jonrowe, Rick Holt, Darin Nelson and I and a few minor characters. The production of this new series cost millions and everyone involved is hoping it will be another hit for Original Productions. They really pulled out all the stops for this show. I had a camera attached to my sled filming my dogs, a camera attached to my sled that was filming me and I was wired for sound throughout my journey. Camera men were at just about every checkpoint as well capturing as much as they could about the race and what it takes to drive a dog team from Anchorage to Nome. It is truly exciting and unbelievable to me to be a part of it. This production will bring the Iditarod story to millions of new viewers. The worlds most famous dog sled race will now be seen by the world!”

Discovery Channel flew Bruce and the other primary characters down to Los Angeles during the first part of August to complete the final shooting. Look for advertising for the series to begin soon and for the series to begin airing in October.

by Bruce Linton
Like all diabetics, I was shocked, overwhelmed, and saddened, on that faithful day when I officially became a Type 1 insulin-dependent diabetic. It is hard to believe that I have had diabetes for over 15 years. My journey since then has been long and unpredictable but, in the process, I have developed some very strong beliefs that I carry with me today. Here is my story. Read more.......



Every Mile Counts!
Musher Bruce Linton can not get to the starting line of Iditarod without your help. Costs to maintain a competitive dog sled kennel are approximately $50,000 a year. Help support him by buying a mile for $20.00 in Iditarod 2009. Please donate in increments of $20.00 and own the trail for that mile. With your $20.00 donation, you will purchase the next mile that is available on the Iditarod trail (or any mile you want that is not taken). See how far he has gotten and list of contributors here. His goal is to get all 1,131 miles purchased so that he can once again get from Anchorage to Nome and spread his positive message about living with diabetes. Click here for map and mileage details

"I want to show people with diabetes that they can do just about anything if they properly take care of themselves, lead a healthy, active lifestyle, and live with a positive attitude!"
