Why I am Racing for the Ocean
Two of my passions have long been running and ocean science. This summer, I have the honor to combine the two as I "Race for the Ocean" as part of Team WHOI at the Falmouth Road Race. My love for the oceans began with fishing on Long Island Sound with my dad and reading the pocket-sized Golden Guides (to Seashore Life, Fishes, Seashells of the World, etc.) that I found on my family's bookshelf. The ocean has always been a magical and peaceful place for me. But these great bodies of water are in jeopardy, and now more than ever we need organizations like the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) to help preserve them—and the life they support—for future generations. I humbly ask you to give any dollar figure you’re comfortable with to support this cause that I’m proud as hell to represent. Thank you!
Description
Our Ocean. Our Planet. Our Future.
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is a world-class community of researchers, engineers, technologists and students working together to find solutions to critical environmental challenges facing humanity and our ocean planet.
We are working together to support ocean science at WHOI. As we join together to RACE FOR THE OCEAN, you help WHOI place big bets on science to accelerate the search for climate solutions, keep ocean habitats healthy and marine life thriving, and explore new possibilities for human lives and livelihoods.
By supporting me, you are also supporting solutions-based science by giving WHOI scientists and engineers the flexibility they need to identify and pursue critical research priorities in a changing ocean. Together, we can create an ocean of possibilities!
