Back when I was in law school, one of my getaways was fishing in Galveston Bay and the surrounding waters. I didn't do it to catch fish; it was to get away from the books and the city to something a little less tame and a little closer to nature. Galveston Bay isn't especially pretty as bodies of water go, but it's vital, and it's important to the region and the people who live here.

That's why I've committed to riding in this year's Bike Around the Bay event in October and I would love your support. The ride raises money for the Galveston Bay Foundation, a local environmental nonprofit that provides environmental education to students, restores oyster reefs and wetlands, and protects vital habitat in and around Galveston Bay. It's a great organization, and every donation makes a difference. 

Thanks for being part of my team.
