Alaska: The Sled Dogs Who Saved a Village with Dr. Shanté Cofield

During a health crisis, town doctor Curtis Welch was faced with diagnosing and treating an unknown illness, all before it infected the whole town of 1,400 people. Left with limited resources and a short deadline, the Alaskan people sprang into action to set up a sled dog relay to deliver the medicine. Sharon sits down with Dr. Shanté Cofield, a business coach helping movement and health professionals succeed in the online space, to discuss the story behind the little-known 1925 Serum Run, which took place in the brutal Alaskan wilderness.
