My Birdathon Page

As you know, I'm a big fan of bird-watching, and I'm excited to put my passion into action by supporting a local conservation organization, Birds Connect Seattle. This May, I'll be participating in Birdathon, which is like a walkathon but with a twist. Picture this: instead of counting steps or laps, I’ll spend a day trying to spot and hear as many different bird species as possible!

By joining forces with other Birdathon participants, we aim to raise funds to support Birds Connect Seattle's mission to advocate and organize for cities where both people and birds thrive. Your support through my fundraising page, whether it's $250, $100, or $50, will directly contribute to urban conservation, environmental education, and community science programs in our local community.

Every dollar brings me closer to my goal, so please consider donating. Thank you for supporting me in this meaningful endeavor!
