Why I am Racing for the Ocean
I’m Rob, a Firefighter/EMT from Massachusetts and I have grown up with a deep love for the ocean and conservation, spending much of my childhood on the coast in Woods Hole and Chatham. I was always fascinated with marine life growing up and the efforts and breakthroughs being made in our own backyard (Woods Hole). As such, I’m running the FRR this year as a proud member of team W.H.O.I, a cause very close to my heart. This race will truly be a full circle moment for me, as WHOI has been an inspiration to me and my love of the ocean my whole life, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to give back and support conservation efforts. I appreciate any donations or even sharing my page and helping me raise money for an amazing cause.
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!
