In 2009 the Serum Run '25 Expedition set out to retrace the original 1925 relay route of lifesaving antitoxin delivered by dog teams across Alaska to Diphtheria stricken Nome.
To prepare for the arduous journey, Washington state musher Von Martin meticulously assembled 1,200 lbs of supplies, trained his team of twelve huskies for hundreds of miles, and made the long midwinter drive to Alaska.
What he did not anticipate was the worst Alaskan winter in decades.
Cut off from the expedition's support party and faced with an impassable trail, Von and the team of Serum Run '25 mushers are faced with a heartbreaking decision for their mission and their dogs.
Join Von Martin as he shares his story through journal excerpts, photographs, and heartfelt narratives, the exhilaration, hardship, and life lessons learned from his huskies during his attempt to cross the Alaskan wilderness by dog team.
