Why the environment is important to me:

As a sailor I'm constantly exposed to the elements and am sensitive to the changing environment. I use the weather and conditions to gain an advantage over those I compete against. My sport depends on clean air, clear water and a healthy environment.

Why am I a Clean Air Champion?

Anything I can do to increase awareness of the environmental challenges we face through my sport in a positive way is worthwhile. CAC uses the excitement associated with the Olympics and directs it towards a positive change.
