A Personal Requst to Help Save Sea Turtles (With Just One Click)
I think this is the first time I've ever posted a completely personal request on my blog, but I suppose there's a first time for everything. A bit of background: my parents live on the coast here in North Carolina, and are volunteers for a group that helps save sea turtles. Sea turtles are almost extinct, if you didn't know. This group finds injured turtles and nurses them back to health, as well as finds and safeguards the annual nests until the baby turtles hatch and head into the ocean.
Animal Planet is having a vote for their "Hero of the Year", and Jean Beasley, who runs the Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, is one of the candidates. The winner gets a cash prize to help fund their efforts. Could I ask you to go vote for her? They really need all the help they can get as the number of new nests the turtles lay drops every year.
Just go to the Animal Planet poll and vote for Jean Beasley (I think she's the first one). It takes 5 seconds, you don't have to register or anything. And if you're interested in more about what the STRR does, you can look at seaturtlehospital.org. Thanks!
