We Can Row is specifically designed to allow cancer survivors to reorient themselves with their bodies, giving women a sense of control and putting them in contact with other cancer survivors. Rowing helps survivors to re-build physical strength and mental focus, renew self-image and develop the bond of teamwork with women who have had similar cancer experiences.
