Synopsis
The amazing five year journey of endurance athlete Serge Roetheli as he endeavored to run a distance equal to the earth’s circumference to raise money and awareness for the world’s impoverished children. Accompained by his wife Nicole, who drove a motorcycle with their supplies and pup tent in tow, the Roethelis were confronted with challenges that pushed them beyond their limits as they crossed six continents and thirty-five countries while battling against unforgiving landscapes, extreme weather, civil unrest, and near-death illness. Remarkably, they survuved it all. At the heart of their journey is a love story – a relationship of two people who believed in achieving the impossible – but that ends with a shocking twist.
