About

WeCanRow-Philly is a rowing program developed specifically for breast cancer survivors. This program helps them regain control over their bodies at a time when they may be feeling vulnerable, encourages them to be active, and connects them with other women who have undergone similar experience through a healthy and exhilarating sport.

WeCanRow-Philly was organized in 2018.  The goals are to help women who have been treated for breast cancer to:

• Develop strength and endurance.
• Become active participants in their own recovery.
• Regain control over their bodies.
• Rediscover the joy of movement.
• Contribute to a mutually empowering recovery team.

Located at Hines Rowing Center with the enthusiastic support of Lois Trench-Hines, this program partners with Whitemarsh Boat Club.

WeCanRow-Philly meets once a week.  No experience is necessary.  All ages and levels of fitness are welcome.  Rowing is a no impact, lifelong sport that can be enjoyed well into your 90s.  Our coaches have experience working with breast cancer survivors and will teach you everything in a friendly and supportive environment.  A doctor’s note is required stating that you are cleared for physical activity.

If you have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us, we are here to help!  Email us at WeCanRowPhilly@gmail.com
