My Story

Hello!

I’m planning to run Grandma’s 50th Marathon in June, and in doing so, I’m fundraising for Save the Boundary Waters. The Boundary Waters is near and dear to my heart, as many of my family members frequently visit the Boundary Waters every summer and have created so many wonderful memories there—and we’d all like that to continue! Any donation you’re able to contribute would be so appreciated. 

Thank you!

Sarah

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.
