Hi People who care about the earth!

As most of you know, I am in love with nature and spend a great deal of time in it. As I get older, I feel more responsible in making sure that this planet stays healthy to support my grandchildren and the many generations that follow. That's why I am also part of this amazing natural foods startup called BUK Foods. Check us out at BUKfoods.com. It's all about Healing People & the Planet! It's also why I entered into this half-marathon Yosemite Race.

Not all races are alike – some have a more challenging course, some have beautiful scenery, and this next race I’m taking on is one with a purpose.

This is the most important "race" of our times. What we do now matters. The future of the planet's air and soils is in our hands today. I’m raising funds for the Sierra Club because they do good by Nature. Nature’s done good by me, and now it’s my turn to be doing good. You don't always get to make a difference when you race, but with Team Sierra, you can.

I care about the places we live, and the funds you donate will enable the Sierra Club to do things like:
• Provide cleaner, cheaper, energy.
• Protect our land, water, and air – from our backyards to the other side of the globe.
• Save animals being threatened with extinction.
• Make the outdoors accessible for all of us.

I know they’re going to take the funds we raised and use them to have the biggest impact on the issues we care about.

My goal is $1000, please help me cross the finish line by making a donation. And when you do, let me know why you care about doing good by nature in the “Words of Encouragement” box. I would love to hear from you!

This is important to me because the Sierra Club is making our communities better – they’re protecting natural places near cities and suburbs and working hard to ensure clean air and water for all. I want to help them succeed.

If you'd like to learn more about their mission, you can check out sierraclub.org, or participate in their campaigns at addup.org!

Thanks so much!

P.S. I was amazed that Sierra Club has been saving our environment for the last 125 years! They are determined, focused, and need our help!
