My Story
I am running Grandmas Marathon this June to raise money for the Boundary Waters.
Why?! The Boundary Waters is untouched wilderness, and some chumps want to risk digging it up and polluting its waters for the profits of a Chilean conglomerate. That's messed up. The Boundary Waters has been protected by the Wilderness Act of 1964 and some chumps want to overturn those protections. That's utterly preposterous.
The Boundary Waters must be protected from these chumps. These chumps don't understand lying in a hammock under 100 year-old cedar trees, drinking water straight from the lake, catching enough fish for a shore lunch and sleeping under the stars without any light pollution. The value of those experiences is too much to risk and far exceeds allowing the value of some chumps digging. If you agree, please help.
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.
