| My name is Bronwyn Delacruz. I am a grade 10 student in a rural town in northern Alberta. I love life and I love the outdoors. My parents have always told me to be brave, work hard, fight for what you believe in and fight for what's right. I have a grade 9 level piano and love to rock the guitar, winning cash at the music festivals is cool. I volunteer at a riding equestrian camp for disabled kids. I have a black belt and I have had concussions and broken arms in martial arts tournaments, winning gold a few times in the process. I love a good fight. But I have never been in a fight like this. We are in I believe, a fight for our lives and for the billions of sea life in the Pacific Ocean; I want to fight for those who can't. I want to give a voice for those who have no voice. Please help me in my attempt to bring more attention to the radioactive contamination from Fukushima that is endangering everything that we know and love. Someday I hope I can look back knowing I made positive difference to this world. |
