Marathon Row 2026

We CAN ROW long distances …and we conquered!💪

What started as a challenge quickly became a mission! Some did it for the glory, some for the personal accomplishment, and let’s face it… some did it for the name on the T-shirt! 😂
Kudos to Emily (sporting last years tshirt)with Susan, Lisa and Laura rowed a full marathon (42k) Ines in the 8, as well as Sue and Jim who rowed it in a double!!

Rowing the half was Bonnie, Maggie, Mary and Janet (24k just a little bit over a half)… next year? Let’s get more survivors out there!

Competing at the Head of the Charles Regatta takes racing to a whole new level. For the third year, we proudly represented our community in the survivor exhibition event. The weather was rainy, windy, and cold - but hey, we’re survivors! 💪💪

A heartfelt thank-you to the Survivor Rowing Network (SRN) for creating these opportunities and championing survivor rowing since 2023.

Our 2026 Survivor 8 team of Karin, Shannan, Jill, Maggie, Janet, Sue, Thuy, and Odezza, gave it our all in challenging conditions. We are grateful for the support of our coaches, Susan, Margie, and Marsha. And to our amazing cox Breana, we couldn’t have done this without your talent, and knowledge. Thank you!

Our survivors also delivered powerful performances in the Masters Women’s 8s, competing in both the 30s category (Ines) and the 60s category (Bonnie, Kathy, and Rebecca).

Beyond the racing and results, it’s the fellowship, shared strength, and spirit of the survivor community that make this weekend so special. Until next year, Boston!

On this race day, we remember💗

Yesterday we remembered the teammates, family members, and friends lost to cancer. Though they are no longer with us, their memories, their strength, and the impact they made on our lives will always remain.

Shannon Cutler, Kim Daniels, and Sam Ainuddin - you are forever in our hearts and will never be forgotten. 💗

Always remembered. Forever missed. Never forgotten.
