I have no words. The astounding generosity of each person who donated or shared, not to mention the organizers, matching donors, spreadsheet elves... You've changed so many lives for the better. And you've shown countless people what care and community look like, at a time when it's easy to forget.

We’ve arrived to Nome, The Widow’s Lamp has been extinguished signaling all mushers are safely off the trail, and the spreadsheet is locked! We will work on updating the final tally for you all in the next day or so. Thank you so much for all your support, shares, matches! #igivearod #UglyDogs

#UglyDogs Our $10K anonymous match donator asked me to share the following message: "No need (regarding thank you notes). I’m so grateful for everyone in this wonderful community!!!!"

Well folks, An anonymous donor wants to see the Igivearod go over $100,000 and is will to donate the last $10,000 if we can get to $90,000 in the next 12 hours. We are currently at $79,000 so that's $11,000 for us in the next 12 hours! LET'S FRIGGIN' GO!! WE CAN DO THIS! bit.ly/igivearod2025

This is why we do this. #UglyDogs

I signed me and the dogs up for wooftrax, and I signed up to volunteer for our public library system! It doesn't have to be monetary, but nobody ever says no to monetary generosity. #uglydogs

An idea inspired by @antigrinch.bsky.social, let's have a fun Braverdogs thread this morning. Share your favorite pics of @blairbraverman.bsky.social and @quincemountain.bsky.social's frens, past and present. I'll start because this photo of Hari always makes me smile. #UglyDogs

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

Exactly! Like I know sometimes the dogs that run change last minute but I'll never be upset about looking at MORE DOGS!

Jenga is us all right now. #uglydogs

I'm still frustrated that I had to go to individual kennel websites to find out anything about various musher's dogs. Y'know, the ATHLETES. #uglydogs

#UglyDogs This is Fly from Rerun kennel. She is a badass grl. I just donated 27 $ to the Fairbanks Animal Shelter where Justin and Kailyn rescued her. Her fb post is generous and heartfelt. They were running great. fnsb.gov/762/Donate

I am disappointed in this news. But I am very proud of Quince. I am very proud of the BraverMountain dogs. And I am very proud of the #UglyDogs community (and everyone involved in #IGivearod).

Oh hey! What about a flood of $27 donations in honor of Q's bib number? #UglyDogs @igivearod.bsky.social

The very first Sled Dog of the Day here on Bluesky is... Pepé! At nearly 12 years old, she continues to lead her team and came out of retirement to help musher Quince Mountain on this year's Iditarod journey. She made it to Nome with Blair in 2019! Go Pepé & Quince! #uglydogs #iditarod

ConGARtulations @ologies.bsky.social!!!

Queen Pepé!

Another late awoo! I'm finally home from work. My dogs are asleep and it's late so accept this gif. #uglydogs

Warm-up Pepé before commission work. I love her I love her I love her I lo #uglydogs #iditarod

Some Pepé paintings to cheer her and the team on in the Iditarod!! 🎉 #art #uglydogs

#UglyDogs

I’m CRYING 😂😂😂😂

Queen.

There is a dog on Jenny Roddewig’s team, Honey, who proves it takes all types. Per Fb she is “too sleepy to run” between 2AM and 6AM so she sleeps in the sled bag while the rest of the team runs. I love her. #UglyDogs
