After many years of watching the Falmouth Road Race and cheering runners, I'm going to attempt it! This is my first ever race and I'm ready (I hope).
As you may know, I strongly believe my body was not designed to run (it was designed to swim)- so it is taking every ounce of willpower I have to train for this race, and to ultimately run it.
I'm raising money for the Fisherman's Alliance. I lived on Cape Cod throughout the pandemic and up until Lazer was born. During that time I ate a LOT of local seafood and found out about the work of the Fisherman's Alliance. As a sustainability professional, it is so great to see an organization that prioritizes local livelihoods as well as sustainable management of the marine ecosystem.
I hope that the work of the Fisherman's Alliance continues and that decades from now, I can visit Falmouth with my grandchildren and see a Cape that has a thriving local community, an ocean teeming with fish, and lots of delicious seafood to eat.
Description
The Cape Cod Commerical Fishermen's Alliance is proud to be participating for the sixth consecutive year in the iconic Falmouth Road Race as part of the Numbers for Non-Profits Program. Our fantastic team is running to raise funds to help us continue our work advocating for our historic small boat fishing industry and sustainable fishing on Cape Cod.
Founded in 1991 by the local fishing fleet, Fishermen's Alliance engages the local fishing community in building lasting solutions to protect the ocean ecosystem and the future of Cape Cod's small-boat fishing fleet.
Fishermen's Alliance stands for:
- A Healthy Ocean Environment: We advocate for healthy oceans to ensure sustainable and successful fishing businesses.
- Fishermen Driving Science: Fishermen partner with scientists to conduct research to inform sensible and forward-looking fishing regulations.
- Economic Development: We invest in fisheries to provide opportunities for both today's fishermen and future generations to build their businesses.
- Community: We bring fishermen and our community together to create connections that support the local fishing industry and its value to the community.
- Sustainable Solutions: We believe a healthy marine environment is essential to the success and sustainability of Cape Cod's economy. Fishermen's Alliance is taking action now to make sure there will be a future for fish and fishermen.
Thank you for supporting healthy oceans, sustainable fishing and strong coastal communities on Cape Cod!
