Bio
2008 Rookie
Laura Daugereau, 26, was born in Tennessee. She
says she was raised around the world as a Navy
"brat." The family moved to Port Gamble because it
was her dad's retiring duty station. They started a
construction business there involving three
generations of their family. Laura's has been
involved in the construction business for 12 years.
She began mushing in 1994 as a hobby but it
"progressed into a passion and a way of life." "For
as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for
the outdoors and a love of animals. The old ways of
living off of the land have been a constant source
of intrigue; man fighting to survive through
whatever obstacles come his way. Dog sledding is a
combination of all of these things. It's just you
and the team of dogs you've trained versus the
elements of nature! There is not a thing in the
world that compares to running through the cold
dark night and seeing the sun rise and shine off
the backs of sixteen of your best friends while
silently moving down the trail the same way their
ancestors have done for hundreds of years!" She
says she has more adventures under her belt than
most have in a lifetime. From the age of 13, she
has worked forher family's business doing
construction, home maintenance and remodeling in
order to support her love of mushing. In addition
to dog sledding, some of her other loves include
playing drums, riding and tinkering with her
motorcycle, working on her live-in tree house,
reading and enjoying God's great playground. She
has been working with Rick's Racing Rovers for the
last two years and will team up with them again for
the 2008 race season. With the help of the Larsons,
her family, friends and those who believe in what
she does, "I will be first woman to represent
Washington State in Alaska's great race, the
Iditarod." Off season, you will find Laura several
days a week in a class room surrounded by students
as she teaches sportsmanship, responsible animal
care, climbing the mountains in your life and
pursuing your dreams. In addition to dog sledding,
some of her other loves include playing drums,
riding and tinkering with her motorcycle, and
working on her live-in tree house. Laura also gives
10% of all profits, sponsorships and donations to
her
