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

I first became involved with the Iditarod in 2015. And became involved with it through Tabitha Jones. She did therapy with our cat who had back surgery. And she invited us to be part of the Iditarod.

I am here today and involved with the Iditarod because we are part of the vet tech team. And we assist with microchipping checking with the dogs.

What I know for sure in life is that I am a huge advocate for animals.
