Help Astrid Protect the West We All Love

I moved West sight unseen. During my first week in Colorado, a friend invited me to go rafting on the Arkansas River. I went - and between the towering canyon walls, rushing rapids, and the sheer beauty of it all, I fell in love with the West and the possibilities for adventure it held.

That trip was just the beginning. I met a mountain guide and kayaker who would one day become my husband, and together we've made countless memories exploring the incredible playground these landscapes provide. 

The West has given me more adventure, connection, and joy than I ever imagined.

I want future generations to have those same opportunities. That's why I'm raising funds for Western Resource Advocates (WRA) this Colorado Gives Day.

Across seven Western states, WRA protects the places and natural resources that make these experiences possible. Their work focuses on three critical areas:

• ⚡ Clean Energy: Accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels and reducing climate pollution.

• 🌊 Healthy Rivers: Protecting the Colorado River and valuable water resources across the West. 

• 🌲 Thriving Lands: Conserving the landscapes, wildlife, and habitats that make this region extraordinary.

My goal is to raise $500 for WRA this Colorado Gives Day. Will you join me? Your gift helps protect the West we love today, and ensures future generations have the opportunity to make memories and find adventure of their own.
