My Story

Running Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth this year is extra special it’s my first marathon, and I’m doing it under the Boundary Waters nonprofit bib. The Boundary Waters have been a huge part of my life; I’ve spent countless memorable trips there, and I truly love that wild, peaceful place.

What makes it even more meaningful is that my mom ran Grandma’s when she was pregnant with me. Now it’s my turn to lace up and run for something I care about deeply.

I’m raising funds for the Boundary Waters to help protect and preserve this incredible wilderness for future generations. Any support means the world!

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.
