Cause

I  am racing to increase awarness of the Pebble gold and copper development project near Lake Iliamna in Alaska. Lake Iliamna is at the headwaters of Bristol Bay and is the size of lake Erie, my home and the site of the largest salmon run in the world. It is also the home of untouched wilderness. A 2.5 mile open pit mine is proposed.
Check it out for yourself...it's serious stuff.
