Delivering Hope

To get to the Deadhorse Post Office, 302 Miles Of Alaska’s Dalton Hwy was run in winter. SYNOPSIS:
Delivering Hope is a feature film documentary that tells the ultimate story of people coming together for something bigger than themselves. On November 16, 2019, eight days before his 50th birthday, ultra-runner Kevin Kline set out to become the first person in history to run the northernmost 300 miles of Alaska's dangerous Dalton Highway, in winter, to raise awareness for children battling pediatric cancer. Traversing the world's 10th most dangerous road Kline and his crew face a hostile environment of -40F temperatures on a road made of ice in near total darkness to run an 8lb backpack full of childhood cancer names to the virtual top of the world. When Kline's body shuts down after 200 miles, the crew is faced with a life-changing dilemma. DIRECTOR BIO (Jordan Orsak)

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
In 2019, we set off to create a film to generate greater awareness for a disease. What we ultimately cultivated became a 2-year story about incredible human triumph and an unlikely family coming together for a cause much bigger than themselves. Delivering Hope is a heart-tugging story about one man's determination to end childhood cancer despite unbelievable odds.
