What, who or how and when did you first get involved with the Iditarod?

I move here, then that’s when I come and see them, and yeah. The year before [2020] I work at the school being a cook and feed the mushers, cook them breakfast and lunch. 

What is your Why? Why are you here TODAY and involved with the Iditarod?

[Just to] Check in on dogs down here, walk around.
