RachelWhen Rachel is not working as a physiotherapist in Thunder Bay, Ontario she can often be found out in the country running around with a pack of sled dogs. She enjoys travelling and is always up for an adventure of any kind! This meant it was not hard for Stacey to convince Rachel that she should join her in a half marathon in Antarctica. Rachel spent time volunteering at Open Doors in 2008 and 2012 and hopes to return someday.
