Help me help build a network of Hope Spots large enough to save the blue heart of our planet

Hi all,

I wanted to do something good and make the world a better place. We need your support to save the ocean, one Hope Spot at a time.

That's why I created a fundraiser to support Mission Blue. As Dr. Earle said "I wish you would use all means at your disposal — films, the web, expeditions, new submarines, a campaign! — to ignite public support for a network of global marine protected areas, hope spots large enough to save and restore the ocean, the blue heart of the planet. – Dr. Sylvia Earle's 2009 TED Prize wish that launched Mission Blue — and you can be a part of it.

Check out my fundraising page and please consider making a donation to help me reach my goal of [Your Fundraiser's Goal Will Automatically Go Here].

Give today.

Giving online is easy and fast, and your support will make a real difference. I appreciate your help!

Thanks for being generous!
