I'm running for Clean Water in the 2022 Falmouth Road Race!
Hello!
I am so excited to announce that this year, I will be running the 50th annual Falmouth Road Race for the Buzzards Bay Coalition. The Coalition works to restore, protect, and sustain Buzzards Bay from threats like oil spills, nitrogen pollution, and toxic pollution.
Growing up in Marion and since moving back to Massachusetts, I’ve spent a lot of my life enjoying Buzzards Bay and have never had an opportunity to give back to the environment in this way until now. Buzzards Bay has given me, my family, and my friends a lot of special memories. Whether it’s enjoying a drink on the waterfront, taking a boat ride on a summer day, laying out on the beach and going for a dip, kayaking, or just driving by for a quick glance at the water, we all can appreciate the special moments Buzzards Bay has given the South Coast Massachusetts community.
Today, the greatest long term threat to the health of Buzzards Bay is nitrogen pollution. By far, residential septic systems are the largest single source of nitrogen pollution to the Bay.
Oil spills, trash pollution, and bacterial contamination are other threats that contribute to the health of our beautiful Bay. Click HERE to learn more about all the issues that threaten the health of Buzzards Bay.
Whether you use Buzzards Bay to fish, boat, swim, sightsee, or are just someone who is passionate about protecting our environment, I hope you consider donating to this important cause so we can all continue to use and enjoy our precious Buzzards Bay!

Description
Buzzards Bay is one of the most beautiful coastal waterways on the East Coast, but it's under constant threat from dangers like nitrogen pollution, oil spills, and disappearing forests and wetlands.
You can help save Buzzards Bay by donating to my upcoming run at the Falmouth Road Race with Team Buzzards Bay on Sunday, August 21st. I’ll be doing my part by joining others in running 7 miles as we raise funds for and awareness of the need to protect clean water in our community.
Through this challenging event, I'm hoping to meet or exceed my fundraising goal to support the Buzzards Bay Coalition's important work across conservation, research, advocacy, and education. Any amount - big or small - truly makes a difference in helping to protect clean water for today, and for future generations.
Thank you for your support!
