The Great Race of Mercy

Togo the often-forgotten (Siberian-Husky) true hero of the Great Race of Mercy that delivered 300,000 units of life saving serum to the Diphtheria ridden town of Noem, AK in 1925.

Togo was 12 years old and was well past his prime as Leonard Seppala's best lead sled dog when he was put to his last and biggest test in the winter of 1925. Diphtheria had caused an epidemic in the town of Noem, AK especially affecting the children and getting the lifesaving serum from Anchorage was looking impossible with the bitter winter months ahead.

Togo led his team 170 miles in his leg of the journey (the largest distance covered by any team), crossing some of the most treacherous terrain along the way, such as Norton Sound. the Average temperature during the journey was -30 with gale force winds dipping the temps to -65. the entirety of the journey was a 674-mile round trip including 20 sled dog teams. 

Togo was largely forgotten for his role as he was not the lead dog to cross the finish line and deliver the lifesaving serum to Noem, Balto was seen as the hero because of this act.
