And can’t help but wonder, will we reach 440 followers on bluesky during this years race? That would be fun!

This made me smile.
Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
Y'all.

I think the ITC needs a new President of the Board
I’m in tears. So happy.
The #igivearod2025 totals are in! This drive in honor of Quince Mountain's #Iditarod run brought in a record $138,646, breaking the previous 2019 record of $127,500. This brings the sum total of all #igivearod drives to an amazing $525,720 to support Alaska school projects and organizations.
Only $800 more needed to get some bodies movin and tummies filled

What I'm going to remember about this year is Pepé running lead at 11yrs old for almost 700 miles, across what many called the worst trails they ever ran.
Q running while in the midst of mourning, but never quitting.
The #uglydogs coming together for @igivearod.bsky.social
That's worth celebrating
Mac's a mensch and he knows that I can't resist a good opportunity to match something. So, here it is, I will match whatever Mac ends up doing (this way he does the math) but I will split it between the ReRun GFM and the Igivarod. So both funds win a little. Ready, Set, Go! #mushersky #uglydogs
Donated!
I just supported Igivearod 2025: Supporting Rural Alaska on DonorsChoose. Help a classroom in need today. www.donorschoose.org/igivearod25?...
My suggestion to the Iditarod, form up a group of volunteers whose job is the red lantern pack. Anyone who has happy healthy dogs and wants to continue should get to finish. #UglyDogs we’re 53 years into this race, make a solution instead of killing dreams.
