Fans of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race know Rachael Scdoris as the legally blind sled dog racer.

Rachael's sponsor, Standard Insurance Company, started a benefit fund to raise money for other blind and visually impaired athletes through her participation in the 34th annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.

People are encouraged to visit Scdoris' Web site, GoRachaelGo.com, to pledge as little as $.01 for every mile of the race that Scdoris completes. All donations will
benefit the U.S. Association of Blind Athletes (USABA), and The Standard will
match donations up to a total of $50,000.
