Did you know the legendary sled dog Balto is still teaching us new tricks over 100 years later? 🐾 Scientists recently analyzed DNA from a tiny patch of skin from his preserved mount to uncover what made this 1925 Serum Run hero so unique! 🧬 It turns out Balto was full of mixed breed vigor and was genetically adapted to a diet that included starches, making him the ultimate working athlete. From leading the final dash into Nome to his famous statue in Central Park, Balto's legacy lives on in the science of modern sled dogs! 🏔️ Read the full story here: #Balto #AlaskaHistory #SledDogs #ScienceNews #SerumRun #WorkingDogs #DogGenetics #Alaska 🐕❄️ ...

Join the Central Peninsula Hospital at Campus River Tower for an evening of connection, storytelling, and purpose on Friday, Feb. 27 at 6:30 p.m. 🥂 All proceeds from the Central Peninsula Health Foundation’s annual Evening by the River fundraiser will support the expansion of breast cancer screening services across the Kenai Peninsula. With only 49% of local women over 40 receiving recommended screenings, the goal is to fund a new mammography machine at CPH and relocate the current unit to the Kenai clinic to significantly improve access. 🌸 Early detection is our most powerful tool, boasting a 99% survival rate when caught early, yet many in our community still face barriers to care. The night will feature powerful stories from local survivors, live music, an open bar, a silent auction, and hors d’oeuvres. 🎶 Tickets are $100 per person and your generosity provides more than just technology—it offers hope and saves lives. Get your tickets or learn how to donate at the link here: ✨ #KenaiPeninsula #CentralPeninsulaHealth #BreastCancerAwareness #EarlyDetection #CommunitySupport #GivingHeals #EveningByTheRiver ...
