My Story
This June, I'll be running Grandma's Marathon-- and I'm dedicating every mile to protecting one of the most beautiful and fragile ecosystems in the world, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA).
The BWCA is a special place to me and more importantly to wildlife. Its a place of peace, reflection, and adventure-- a rare, wild landscape that deserves to stay that way. I'm partnering with Save the Boundary Waters to help protect it from threats like pollution and industrial mining, and to ensure future generations can paddle, hike, and experience its magic just like I do every year.
Every dollar raised goes directly towards the fight to protect the BWCA--keeping its clean water, wildlife, and beauty safe forever. If you love nature and its peaceful surroundings, I'd be SO grateful for your support!
Every mile I run will be powered by your support :)
Thank you!
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.
