THE CAMINO FUNDRAISER

I’M WALKING TO THE END OF THE EARTH TO SAVE THE EARTH

Many of you know that I have done a number of Climate Rides to fund raise for Sustainable Marin and Safe Routes to Schools.  

This spring I am launching a Climate Walk to raise funds for Sustainable Marin.

I will be walking 65 miles along the final route of the Spanish Camino.   Last year I walked 100 miles along the coastal Camino, ending at the church in Santiago.   But that is actually not the end of the Camino.   The route continues on to Finesterre – translated to the End of the Earth.  In pre-Christian times, they believed that this was actually the end of the earth as they would gaze out at the horizon and see a drop off.   “Thar be Dragons thar.”  

Today we face our own dragons as we gaze into the future and see what Climate Change would wrought if we don’t change our ways. 

Sustainable Marin’s mission is to make Marin County more sustainable by catalyzing local climate-based non-profits, conveying and discussing sustainability best practices within our communities, and collaborating with our town and city government councils, and our citizens to establish sustainable policies.  

We do this by developing and supporting Sustainable Chapters and provide fiscal sponsorship and technical and operational support to, aligned individuals, projects, programs and organizations that recognize themselves in this mission, prioritizing social, environmental, and economic justice.

Please donate to help fund the efforts of Sustainable Marin.  

I will be financing the trip myself so 100% of donations will go toward supporting Sustainable Marin.

Thank you for your support
