Why I am Racing for the Ocean
Hello! Thank you for visiting my page! I am really excited to be racing the Falmouth road race to raise money for the ocean. Protecting the ocean is important to me personally and for the health of our planet. The ocean is my happy place and my place of peace. Some of my favorite memories are walks on the beach with my family, learning to surf with my friends, paddle boarding with Phoebe, snorkeling with Zach, being in awe of the sea life in Alaska with my cousins, and playing in the waves at the beach. The health of the ocean is SO important for the well being of every creature on Earth. It is important that all of us do what we can to keep the ocean healthy. You know that I would be running anyway, so I am happy that I am able to do something I love to protect the ocean I love.
Lots of love and gratitude,
Celia
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!
