Adventure sports are associated with high levels of risk. They involve extreme height, speed, and danger. These activities require intense training, utmost fitness, and specialized gear. For adventure enthusiasts, it is a way of life. They live for the adrenaline rush and the thrill these sports offer.

One such adventure enthusiast was, believe it or not, a 66-year-old woman named, Geraldine Largay. But don’t they say, “age is just a number”, and rightly so because Geraldine went on a hike across the Appalachian Trail. Although this trail was known for being tricky and challenging for even a young and fit person, Geraldine was confident she would be able to finish it successfully. Little did she know, her journey will be quite different from what she had planned. And two years after this expedition, her family will discover the truth.
