How does being a CAN Fund recipient make a difference for you?
Rowing is a power endurance sport. With the amount of hours we train, the caloric consumption is wild. CAN Fund becomes a difference maker for us rowers because they’re literally putting food on the table for us. Recovery is equally as important as the training we do everyday, and being a part of the CAN Fund team allows us to be at our best day after day.
