Howdy partner! Turt Reynolds is the name and raising awareness about oil spills is the game! Which is why I’m excited to team up with my pals at STC and NOGU for this year’s Tour de Turtles race. They really know what they’re doing when it comes to protecting the ocean. Did you know jellyfish and other marine life can actually become contaminated by chemicals from oil spills and runoff? They accumulate in my food and even on the beach, and make my friends and I very sick! When I get a hankerin’ for some jellyfish, I don’t want to worry if it’s contaminated! So, I’ll need your help this summer to cheer me on as I swim this marathon in search of healthy oceans and jellyfish to eat to sustain me on my journey. I hope to meet lots of you along the way. Let’s ride!

I was named by my Sponsor, NOGU. Check out my marathon migration map, where you can follow along as I swim to raise awareness about the threat of Oil Spills to sea turtles. Please help me raise awareness about my cause by supporting me!
