Story

The Big Row is Love Rowing's annual fundraiser. It is an epic and collective challenge rowing the 15,241 distance from Paris to LA. Why? because rowing is an amazing sport that can change lives. Love Rowing funds inclusive and accessible projects across the UK opening the possibilities for disabled people and young people who face significant disadvantage.

We have many success stories already, and we want lots more. Will you help us fund them? Don't just take our word for it....

Rowing has given me a sense of freedom and independence that I cannot achieve any other way" Kate, a visually impaired rower.

It’s different from traditional sports that these young people might not like, it gets them out of school and they all enjoy it. We are not the richest school in the world so this gives the kids a new opportunity to learn something new.” Teacher from Walbottle Academy, Newcastle.

Rowing has had one of the best impacts on my life. It motivates me to want to be better, to want to pursue a career in sport. It teaches us what we’re capable of and why we need the determination to succeed and it helps us find the will to be better. To me rowing is one of the best ways to express ourselves through a sport which is underrated.” Pupil from Leicester
