My Story
I have been working for the last three years to reach my goal of running the Boston marathon. To reach that goal I need to first qualify in a Boston qualifier and the grandma marathon is one of them. I thought that a great way to participate in my first marathon is to do so while raising money for a worth while organization. So why not do so by joining an organization that helps this great earth which is why I will be representing save the boundary waters organization.
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.
