My Story…

This October I will be running the Twin Cities Marathon and would love to raise money to a place that has been very important to me over the years. I have been visiting the BWCAW for years as a break from the constant noise around the rest of the state. It has always been a great place to relax and recharge. I believe strongly in the benefits that remote wilderness can provide, and love to give back to that whenever I can.

Though the last 9 years I have been especially involved with the Boundary Waters Advisory Committee helping to maintain the hiking and remote trails in the BWCAW. With all the challenges to the Forest Service in the last few years, giving back and helping to protect this quiet space has become especially important.

Thank you for considering a donation to help preserve this area for future generations!

Donate to help Zachary raise money for 2026 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend’s fundraising campaign.
