Their determination inspired Brad Schmitz, co-founder of Alaska English Adventures, to help them realize this dream. Brad reached out to mushers and businesses across Alaska, and soon, Alaskan communities rallied around the cause, offering meals, lodging, and other resources to make this journey possible. Now, all that stands in the way are the costs of passports and airfare.

With your support, these kids can bring their sled, stories, and culture to Alaska. They’re thrilled to share traditional Swahili dances and stories of Kenya -as well as a part of themselves through the world-renowned Masaai Tribe bracelets- and see firsthand the race they’ve only heard about. Your donation can make this cultural exchange unforgettable, connecting two worlds through friendship, determination, and the spirit of adventure.
