A wellness and recovery
rowing program for women
treated for breast cancer
Founded in 2002, by Olympic gold medalist Holly Metcalf, WeCanRow-Boston is the original WeCanRow program, which now has affiliates around the country. We provide 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.

WeCanRow-Boston schedules an annual New Member Learn to Row in the spring. This allows us to provide a coordinated introduction to rowing for new members that incorporates the safety and wellness aspects that are critical to our program.
New members meet with the coaches and our physical therapist to review their rowing- related health needs and determine what side they will row on (port or starboard) depending on the effects of surgeries, radiation etc. With wellness in mind, the Learn to Row event is designed to help new members avoid potential injuries and the exacerbation of problems, such as lymphedema. Women who are interested in joining WeCanRow-Boston should email us at : info@wecanrowboston.org.
