September, 2016: My close friend Frida is in rehabilitation at Frankmotunet in Folldal. This is a part of the Tyrli foundation, a long term recovery for people with a drug problem. She will spend about six months here before she is transfered to another location. Her goal is to stay sober, and she has found comfort in the many husky dogs which is used in the treatment. Now she is preparing to participate in her first dog sledge race ever, Femundløpet in january, 2017.
