FRANCONIA — The Anthem Sunrise Ascent on Mount Washington, hosted by Adaptive Sports Partners of the North Country, will be held on Sunday, Aug. 4, and is closing in on its fundraising goal to support year-round opportunities for sports, recreation and wellness for people with disabilities.
The event, approaching its 10-year anniversary, challenges adaptive participants with varying degrees and types of disabilities to get to the summit of Mount Washington, the highest peak in the northeast. This year, 13 adaptive athletes will make the journey to the summit with the support of nearly 300 volunteers who turn out to make this event possible.
