Quad Rockin' for Waterfronts & Wellness
Tax deductible
The Maine Coast Fisherman's Association helps the commercial fishing communities of Maine and it’s people on numerous fronts that need our attention, especially during this time of wealthy out-of-state development, unfair accusations and regulations, and insufficient resources of health and wellness for fishermen.
That is why I have chosen to use the Quad Rock 50 Mile Ultra Marathon that I'll be running on May 7th to help raise funds in support of the livelihood of Commercial Fishermen through the Maine Coast Fisherman's Association. They have a lot of great programs helping Maine Commercial Fishermen/women and their families, restoring and sustaining our waterfronts, fighting against the unfair accusations and regulations that are threatening the commercial fishing industry and they also have a program that helps connect fisherman and family members with counselors that understand their way of life and work to give them mental, emotional and physical education and support.
Running 50 Miles is no easy task. Throw in over 10,000ft of elevation gain, and you've got a monster to tackle.
In this way, I find it synonymous with the arduous labor of commercial fishermen/lobstermen and women. They work long, hard days out on the water, pushing their minds and bodies to the limit to bring delicious seafood to our tables.
And this race may take as long as a single working day on the water, 12-16 hours.
So, in a sense, I'm only running one shift of hundreds that a commercial fisherman puts in a year to bring fresh, delicious, wild-caught, sustainable food to our tables.
Please join me in donating to this way of life and the people who inhabit it.
