Diane Pagel Courage Award Fund

Diane Pagel fought a brave and graceful crusade against cancer and demonstrated to many sheep dog handlers around the country and world how to face true adversity with grace and dignity.  She never gave in and one of her greatest joys was a chance to simply be with and work her Border Collies on sheep and in competition.
A small group suggested that her courage and grace in fighting this battle should be honored and recognized.  Therefore we established this fund to create a Diane Pagel Courage Award to be awarded annually to a deserving handler.  The award will be made annualy at the Ninety Farms Trial near her home in Arlington, Washington.
