As many of you know, I really enjoy the outdoors--sailing, biking, running, x-c skiing. Living on Burt Lake, I appreciate the importance of clean, healthy water. That is why I recently began doing volunteer work for Freshwater Future. In addition, I am now a Board Member.
I am very pleased to be a part of Freshwater Future. We're working hard to insure a healthy future for the Great Lakes and the surrounding waters that feed into the Lakes.
I grew up near the shore of Lake Michigan. I now live on Burt Lake, a large inland lake that connects to Lake Huron. I love the Great Lakes!! -- and the inland lakes. I want our grandchildren and great grandchildren - yours and mine - to expereince the Lakes as I have.
There are so many threats to our resources--Asian carp, toxic wastes from the past, over development, contaminated runfoff, and many more. That is why I am raising funds to help citizen efforts around the Great Lakes to tackle these issues.
This summer, I will be biking to raise money for Freshwater Future. Between now and early September, I plan to have at least 1 bike ride of 50 miles. It will be along the shores of Lake Michigan. Would you like to join me? - let me know. I will post photos of my efforts on Facebook.
Will you please consider donating by sponsoring me in these events? Your donation will go directly to addressing issues such as the Asian carp, and helping volunteer and small groups working to keep our waters clean.
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
