I’m challenging myself #BECAUSE I want to protect the planet.

By Miriam Wilson

I’m challenging myself to fundraise for Greenpeace #BECAUSE.....

I am doing a 30 day sketchbook challenge inspired by nature to fundraise for Greenpeace Canada.

I feel nervous to share my sketches, drawings and paintings every day but I hope you will support me by giving a donation to Greenpeace Canada. 

You can even make a nature-inspired drawing request and I will send the drawing to you as a thank you for your donation.

I’m doing this #BECAUSE Greenpeace is making a real difference by acting on climate change, working to save our oceans, forests and other vital ecosystems and encouraging sustainable consumption and production.

I know my friends, family and colleagues care about these issues as much as I do, so please help me reach my fundraising goal by making a donation now. Every gift counts and together, we will have an incredible impact.

Thank you!!!
