This February, I’m setting out to swim 100 kilometers—about the equivalent of an Ironman swim every day (3.8 km)—to support the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust. My goal is to raise $2,000 to help fund a new education center in Tofino. Clayoquot Sound is a remarkable part of the world, and this is a way for me to give back to a place I (and many others) love. If you’d like to get involved or cheer me on, I’d appreciate your support as I take on this challenge throughout the month.
