My Story

Hi! My name is Rufina Isackson, I am a recent graduate from ASU who is running Grandma's Marathon to support the Save the Boundary Waters Charity! I have many fond memories of going camping and canoeing in the Boundary Waters with my family. I also have a strong passion to protect natural spaces for future generations and hope to one day be an Urban Planner that contributes to sustainable city planning! I appreciate all the support as I run for a cause that is important to me and many others! 

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.
