Cayuga Trails Marathon · 1 June 2019

The Natural Resources Defense Council's purpose is to safeguard the Earth: its people, its plants and animals and the natural systems on which all life depends. We work to restore the integrity of the elements that sustain life -- air, land and water -- and to defend endangered natural places. We seek to establish sustainability and good stewardship of the Earth as central ethical imperatives of human society. NRDC affirms the integral place of human beings in the environment. We strive to protect nature in ways that advance the long-term welfare of present and future generations. We work to foster the fundamental right of all people to have a voice in decisions that affect their environment. We seek to break down the pattern of disproportionate environmental burdens borne by people of color and others who face social or economic inequities. Ultimately, NRDC strives to help create a new way of life for humankind, one that can be sustained indefinitely without fouling or depleting the resources that support all life on Earth.

Story

On June 1, I’ll be running the Cayuga Trails Marathon, my first 26.2 in 14 years! As an added incentive to get up and down those crazy Ithaca gorges, I’ve decided to raise money to help protect this beautiful landscape and defend it from daily assaults by the current government. With its ‘Trumpwatch’ initiative, The Natural Resources Defence Council is on the frontline in safeguarding the Earth, its people, its plants and animals and the natural systems on which all life depends. Please consider supporting them: it will be a huge help to me as I hit Lucifer’s Falls around mile 21!
