Row to Grow is a team fundraiser and challenge organized by the heavyweight women’s rowing team at Western University in London Ontario, Canada. The challenge is to be the first team of 10 women ever to row 1,000,000 metres on a row-erg. Our goal is to raise $100,000 to plant trees and support other local charities that align with our values and hopes for a better world. The charities we’ve chosen to support are Tree Canada, The Alzheimer's Association, The London and Middlesex Humane Society, and Anova Women’s Shelter in London.

Our team is special because of how much we love each-other and our sport. We feel incredibly lucky to get up every morning and do what we love with our favourite people in the world. Our team is grateful to be in a position where we can use our passion for rowing to make the world a better place. We are grateful to our coaches and to Western University for the support we have received to make this happen.

Row to Grow is an effort to make the world a better place, not only by planting trees and supporting people and animals in need, but by empowering strong women to take action for causes they care about inspiring them to use their voice and strength for good by doing what they love.
