My Story
Hello everyone! In June I will be running Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth with the Save the Boundary Waters charity team. This is an organization that works to protect the Boundary Waters from sulfide-ore copper mining.
I am so excited to run my second marathon while raising money for an incredibly important cause. Environmental stewardship is something I am very passionate about and it would mean so much to me if you donated :)
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.
