Aloha! You can call me Honu! Sea turtles have many names around the world. In Hawaii they call them “honu” which is how I got my nickname. But don’t be confused, I’m not a green turtle. I’m actually a leatherback from Panama, but my sponsors from Wow Wow Hawaiian Lemonade are passionate about all things Hawaii. They are also passionate about helping save sea turtles from threats like plastic debris. That’s why their restaurants use serving containers made from compostable & recyclable materials and they also have a mason jar refill program to encourage customers to reduce and reuse. We’re so excited to participate in the Tour de Turtles race for the first time and could really use your support! Mahalo! 

I was named by my Sponsor, Wow Wow Hawaiian. Check out my marathon migration map, where you can follow along as I swim to raise awareness about the threat of Plastic and Marine Debris to sea turtles. Please help me raise awareness about my cause by supporting me!
