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

I got involved with the Iditarod because a friend of mine, who is also volunteering here, asked me to come with her. So, here I am.

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

 

I’m here today to get involved with Iditarod because I’ve never been to Alaska, I love dogs and watching them on the internet with the mushers, and the whole experience is why I came. 

Tell me about your most memorable Iditarod experiences?:

One of my most memorable Iditarod experiences is this year, since it’s my first year.

What do you know for sure?:

What I know for sure about in life is that you have to take every day as it comes, and there’s no real right or wrong way to do it, and you just got to love life and live it to the fullest.
