Mission
Statement
The Serum 25 Run is a long distance dog mushing expedition that
commemorates the courageous effort and success of the original
Serum Runners,
who were responsible for bringing the life saving diphtheria serum
to Nome in 1925. Col
Norman Vaughan,
Serum 25 Run leader, along with dog mushers and supporting snow
machiners, will travel the same route taken by the original Serum
Runners from Nenana to Nome. In addition, Colonel Vaughan, dog
mushers and snow machiners will speak to each village school along
the way to remember the original feat accomplished by mostly Alaskan
Native Mushers, and to inspire school age children to "Dream
Big and Dare to Fail". Villagers will be reminded about the
importance of getting inoculations as part of continuing present
day health care.
