WCR-B provides an opportunity for women recovering from breast cancer to develop healthy and strong bodies, become active participants in their own recovery, rediscover the joy of movement, and be part of a group of women with a common bond supporting each other.
A Wellness and Recovery Program
Individual Attention
Members consult with coaches and a physical therapist to match the rowing experience to their specific needs
Fantastic Facilities
We CanRow-Boston meets at the high-end facilities of Boston University. In the “on water” month’s, we row out of BU’s DeWolfe Boathouse. In the winter month’s we have access to training in indoor tanks at BU’s athletic facilities off Commonwealth Avenue.
Life Long Participation
All members participate in our Tuesday night practices. As your skills and confidence increase, you can add other rowing experiences such as Thursday nights at MIT, Indoor tanks in the winter, rowing programs at Community Rowing, or participate in any of the masters’ racing opportunities in the Boston area.
What our members say
Through rowing I have relearned to believe once again that my mind is clear and that my body will respond when I ask it to do more.
― VK, WCR Alum and CRI Masters Rower
WCRB represents the epitome of ‘thriving’ after being treated for breast cancer. These women, some who have rowed before cancer and most who have not, show us that they are ready to ‘take back’ their lives, their bodies and show breast cancer who really in charge.
― Dr. Nancy J. Roberge, Physical Therapist who works exclusively with breast cancer patients
Together, on the water, we take control of our recovery…
