Conquering Mountains, Raising Hope
Please join us for this special Maine screening of the documentary film Hope on the Horizon the tale of four adventurers who set out to climb the 48 highest peaks in the White Mountains of New Hampshire (also known as the 4000 footers) to raise awareness and funding for ALS patients and their families.
The HOTH team of four hikers, including the film maker, set out to summit all 48 peaks in a single trip. Two completed the journey, covering an incredible 250 miles and over 70,000 feet of elevation in only 24 days.
