Nice to see all the responses to the call for help re Maligiaq racing in Canada.
Not much I can do from the other side of the Atlantic.

I was however somewhat surprised by the sudden rush for cheque books and alarm
about possible scams, infact I found it a bit demeaning that some folk presumed he
was just looking for your coveted American Dollars. As I read the request it
wasn't a plea for charity or sponsorship, but just looking for assistance with
transport and a friendly face for a young lad a long way from home .....

All the best to Maligiaq, I hope he makes it to the race and has fun competing.

Cheers
