My Story
I'm excited to be running grandma's marathon next year to raise money for Save the Boundary Waters!!! The boundary waters hold a special place in my heart, and this organization plays a vital part in protecting this wilderness area. With a combination of science and litigation, public engagement and awareness, and political campaigning and advocacy, Save the Boundary Waters has united people and organizations in a way that truly makes a difference in the fight to protect the waterways, forests, and wildlife of the BWCA. I could not be more excited for the opportunity to help raise money for such a vital organization, and I appreciate any amount of money that you are able to donate towards this cause!!
Description
The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) is an undeveloped 1.1 million-acre federal and state-recognized Wilderness Area. It is an expanse of lakes, rivers, and forests in the Superior National Forest, located along the Minnesota-Canada border, that has been protected by statute and international treaty for more than a century. This is the sixth most critical region in the lower 48 to protect for climate resiliency and contains 20% of all the freshwater in the entire National Forest System. The water in the Boundary Waters is so clean, you can dip your cup and drink straight from the lake.
Save the Boundary Waters is the locally-based, national campaign led by Northeastern Minnesotans for Wilderness based in Ely, Minnesota dedicated to permanently protecting America’s most beloved Wilderness Area – the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
