How Your Donation Makes A Difference
All funds raised will support survivor rowing programs across the U.S., Europe and Oceania which empower cancer survivors through rehabilitation and exercise programs. Our goal is to introduce more cancer survivors to rowing, either on the water or on the erg. Many women and men coming out of cancer treatment programs are introduced to erging/rowing/strength training for rehabilitation, recovery and socialization. Rowing programs are also offered for beginners and those interested in competitive racing.
The Survivor Rowing Network currently has 30 active programs in the U.S., Europe and Oceania. Your donation allows us to reach new markets, grow existing markets and ultimately impact more survivors.

Hello my super supportive family and friends!! Forgive the delay in letting you know I completed this challenge and while it wasn't easy it was very rewarding! Knowing all of you were in my corner helped me push through. My time was 26 minutes, 43 seconds. Not too bad but there is certainly room for improvement. I'm proud of myself and am looking forward to getting on the water to row "for real" in a few weeks rather than on the erg. THANK YOU again, from the bottom of my heart, for all of your support and love - as my journey continues...WITHOUT CANCER!! :-)
