Dear Clubs and Schools

It is that time of the year again, where an ERGO is the ‘weapon of choice’ for all rowers preparing for the season ahead.  The ‘ERG’ - that very solo of activities, with only the noise of a flywheel for company, is now a team event to raise funds for kids with childhood cancer.  We have named it MY ROW!

Your blood, sweat and tears will make a difference; not just to your fitness but also to the funding of ongoing critical research into cancer. 

With a team of four rowers/friends you will combine to row the marathon distance of 42.93kilometers.  If you follow the prompts/links in the information included below you will know how to register a team, obtain online donations and see what your efforts will do for kids with cancer.  

All members of the rowing community regardless of age, gender or ability are encouraged to sign up.   We have a sponsorship target and we need your help to achieve it!
