Why I am Racing for the Ocean
I'm running the 2024 Falmouth road race with Team WHOI and fundraising to support the incredible oceanographic research that is happening at WHOI! As a Summer Student Fellow in 2022, I was able to see first hand the way WHOI scientists are working to protect our oceans and environment and I want to support that goal. Growing up by the ocean has given me a special appreciation for the crucial role the ocean plays in the global ecosystem as well as being a source of joy and recreation for so many people. Supporting ocean research is supporting critical environmental research, resource management, and preserving the function and beauty of the ocean.
Description
Our Ocean. Our Planet. Our Future.
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is a world-class community of researchers, engineers, technologists and students working together to find solutions to critical environmental challenges facing humanity and our ocean planet.
Our team of runners are also working together to support ocean research at WHOI. As we all join together to RACE FOR THE OCEAN, you help WHOI place big bets on science to accelerate the search for solutions to climate change, keep ocean habitats healthy and marine life thriving, and explore new possibilities for human lives and livelihoods.
By supporting me, you are also supporting solutions-based science by giving WHOI scientists and engineers the flexibility they need to identify and pursue critical research priorities in a changing ocean. Together, we can create an ocean of possibilities!
