We have great leaders to learn from each year at HOBY Alaska! Larry Daugherty shared what he's learned as a doctor, a participant in The Iditarod and as an Everest climber. Ambassadors heard about his love for activity and helping people, and how he was able to combine his passions by founding and operating Radiating Hope.

Larry, thank you for partnering with us again and inspiring our leaders!
