There is a great team behind Row to Recovery and we thought you may like to find out a bit more about us. Today we introduce Sarah.

Sarah is a vibrant addition to our rowing club, bringing with her a contagious enthusiasm for the sport. As a new member herself, she wholeheartedly embraces the opportunity to encourage others to join and experience the joy of rowing.

With a warm smile and an open heart, she shares her own journey and how rowing has positively impacted her life. Her passion and dedication are truly inspiring, motivating anyone considering giving rowing a try to take that leap and become a part of our close-knit community.

How did you discover Row to Recovery?

“I had never rowed before, I had participated in open water swimming but this was something very new to me. I know two ladies who love it and promote it so I said that I would try it out. I look at the Row to Recovery website and social media channels, chatting with the ladies then had absolutely no worries or concerns about giving it a go.”

What have you thought of the experience so far?

“The thought of rowing 10km on the river Corrib with these amazing women is the goal. My experience so far was pretty amazing, I was a bit awkward and all over the place, but I still enjoyed it. I think it will contribute to my physical and emotional well-being. There is something very mindful and peaceful about being on the water.”

What has been a highlight so far?

“It’s great to be able to talk to with people who have shared the same road, a cancer diagnosis is life changing but for me it was mental torture, so being able to talk openly and honestly about my fears helps. The connection with the other members is priceless.”

What would you say to those considering joining?

“Find the time and try it out, it might not be for everyone, but it is worth a try.”
