I started rowing at Saint Edward's School in the sixth-grade, inspired by some outstanding high-schoolers who taught me the true meaning of teamwork.  I was impressed by their work ethic and dedication and was thrilled to be a part of this team, which participated in extremely competitive regattas.

Last year, Vero Beach Rowing was incorporated as a club in order to allow students from all schools in our area to unify as one team.  This larger team platform has challenged and motivated me. It has also brought me closer to people I may not have otherwise met, who share my passion for the sport.

As a team, we push one another and work together to give every competition and practice our best.  With the guidance of our amazing coaches, we are determined to become faster and reach new goals.

Last summer, we traveled to New Jersey to compete in the US Rowing 2018 Club National Championship, with great results; this past weekend, we had the incredible opportunity to be a part of the 54th Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston!

I am asking for your help to raise funds for this hard-working team in order to ensure its growth and to allow us to share the experience and values of this remarkable discipline with future generations.
