I’m challenging myself to fundraise for Greenpeace #BECAUSE.....
Over 7 days, July 25-31, 2022, I will be hiking 53 km of the Lake Superior Costal Trail. Ontario Parks rates this trail as "Very Demanding."
I commit to this physical and mental challenge for the privilege of becoming intimate with this powerful, untamable, wild and beautiful place.
I commit for my grandchild, and all the children.
I commit for the trees and the water and the soil and the air.
I commit for all our non-human companions - the animals, birds, fish, and insects.
I really hope you’ll support me by donating to my #BECAUSE fundraiser for Greenpeace. 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.
This challenge is definitely a Bucket List item for me, and it would just be so special for me to be able to raise some money for the planet while I was at it. So please help me reach my fundraising goal by making a donation now. Every gift counts and together, we will have an incredible impact.

When Camping Became A Good Idea
Wednesday 29th Jun I admit that, until the summer of 2016, I really didn't understand the attraction of camping. Pack up the car and go sleep on the ground in, arguably, a city of noisy strangers, where everything, from cooking to showering, was 10 times more difficult than at home.Thank you to my donors
