Race to Save Nome is based on the incredible events in 1925, when a deadly diphtheria epidemic swept through the secluded, forgotten city of Nome, Alaska.  The local doctor discovers that he has no antitoxin and without this, more children will die, possibly in the thousands.  The life-saving serum is 674 miles away, the port is completely icebound and planes are not able to withstand the blizzard-like conditions.  The only hope of getting the serum to Nome is by means of dog-sled.  Through treacherous conditions and with little chance of survival, a team of mushers relay the serum to the desperate city.  One man and his dog took on the most difficult and longest route of the relay.  Never truly credited for their heroism, this is the true, courageous and heart-warming story of Leonhard Seppala and his dog, Togo.
