| 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.The late Col
Norman
Vaughan,
Serum 25 was the Run leader, along with dog mushers and supporting
snow machiners. The Serum Run travels the same route taken
by the original Serum Runners from Nenana to Nome. In addition,
Colonel Vaughan, dog mushers and snow machiners used to 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 are reminded about the importance of
getting inoculations as part of continuing present day health
care. This mission is now up to Serum Run members and participants. |
