Mother, Daughter Team Up to Reach New Heights

The NH Broadcaster recently published a story about Jane Frasca and her daughter, Natalie Surmeli, two 2008 Wilderness Heals hikers who collectively raised an estimated $6,500 for the Elizabeth Stone House. This wasn't the first mother-daughter team that participated in Wilderness Heals. Eleven years ago, when she was only 17, Anna Wells joined her mother, Mary Lincoln, for her first Wilderness Heals Hike. Today Anna is a team leader coordinator, and Mary serves on the Stone House's board of directors. And in 2007, Karin Downs hiked with her 18-year-old daughter, Shanti Balin-Downs. Today, Karin is a team leader. To read more about Jane and Natalie, click here.
