Eagle, ID (PRWEB) May 3, 2005 -- Daytona Dayton, host of Daytona & Friends Radio, will be moving to Alaska for participation in the March, 2006 Iditarod race. A national fundraiser, Pennies for Miles, is being established for Schools and Charities, with hopes that her endeavor to face 1200 miles of wilderness with her dog sled team will help bring attention and raise funds for childrens needs everywhere. "School budgets are being cut and charities that help children need a boost in donations," Dayton says. "Pennies for Miles is our way of helping to make a difference." Companies, as well as individuals, can choose their own charities to support.

The Iditarod (http://www.iditarod.com) has been called the Last Great Race on Earth" and it covers over 1,150 miles of the roughest, most beautiful terrain Mother Nature has to offer. Jagged mountain ranges, frozen river, dense forest, desolate tundra and miles of windswept coast test the mushers and their dog teams. Temperatures far below zero and winds that can cause a complete loss of visibility, long hours of darkness and treacherous climbs and you have the Iditarod, a race from Anchorage, in south central Alaska, to Nome.
