Hey! I'm not going to belabor the threats posed by climate change, but suffice it to say it's a big issue. 

I'm running a 50k in December called Cloudland Canyon, and I've decided to use training for that (and the race itself) as a way to try to get myself and others more aware and engaged in helping out towards this cause. For every mile I run in training I'm going to donate $1. If that run is a race (be it a 5k, mini, or the eventual 50k, I'll make it $2). I'll be posting updates along the way, and would love it if you'd join me in this as a contributor. My updates probably usually won't be heavy news about climate change – when I post runs I'll include notes about the run in a sort of journal form; so if you're curious at all about running, it could be a fun read.

100% of the money raised here will be donated to the National Resources Defense Council. You can read about them below, and here's a link about their rating as a charity: https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=4207
