Bio
Cindy Gallea, 57, grew up on a farm in Minnesota
where she experienced the pleasure of the outdoors
and the good feeling of interacting with animals.
She began mushing in 1987 and moved to Montana in
1990 to mush dogs, enjoy the beauty of the State
and for work. A graduate of St. Olaf College with a
BS in Nursing in 1973 and from the University of
Washington with a Master's in Nursing in 1990, she
now has been a nurse practitioner for 17 years. "I
have always loved animals, the out of doors, and
being active. Iditarod provides all of these
things. I run Iditarod because it challenges me
physically, mentally and emotionally and because it
moves me spiritually. It is a gift from the
universe." Cindy has two adult sons, Jim (and
Iditarod veteran) and Brian.
