Happy Birthday, Newton Marshall! You're the coolest Jamaican musher ever to brave Alaska's icy trails. Who else could swap Caribbean sunshine for sled dogs and snowstorms—and still cross the finish line smiling? Your legendary runs in the 2010 and 2011 Iditarod races proved that island spirit can conquer even the coldest challenges.May your birthday be filled with laughter, warmth, and fewer frostbitten toes than your Alaskan adventures. Keep inspiring us all by showing that determination (and maybe a little reggae rhythm) can carry you through any journey. Here's to another year of epic trails—hopefully warmer ones!
