Why I am Racing for the Ocean
Racing for the ocean supports crucial research at WHOI by addressing environmental challenges and preserving vital ocean functions. I'm connected to WHOI's impactful work in marine science and engineering through my passion for and interest in environmental conservation and ocean exploration. Woods Hole also holds special memories for me. I taught across the street at the Marine Biology Lab in the NS&B summer course module, and I had the chance to volunteer at sea with NOAA aboard the R/V Hugh R. Sharp, collecting and measuring marine samples, and piloting the HabCam from WHOI. My wife and I also love traveling and exploring the outdoors, and we enjoy all kinds of activities in the mountains, desert, and sea (snow, surf, sail). Running for Team WHOI is more than just raising awareness; it allows me to connect with nature and contribute to protecting our planet. Through participation and fundraising, starting with the 52nd Falmouth Road Race for WHOI, I hope to make a positive impact on a healthier environment and a brighter future.

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!
