Rowing Through Cancer, Injury & Trauma: Three Body Odysseys at 2022 Head of the Charles
“I plan to row till my last breath” is a strong endorsement for any sport. Yet we heard this sentiment numerous times at the 2022 Head of the Charles Regatta (HOCR), the rowing world’s premier event. The resulting episode features three remarkable protagonists: Jules from Portland, Oregon, was introduced to rowing twenty years ago as she battled a recurrence of cancer. Ping, a traditional Chinese medical doctor, overcame acute knee injuries to return to this year’s event. And Ron, paralyzed from a car accident while cycling, was initially anxious to get on the water while tightly strapped into a rowing seat. (Sure enough, Ron’s boat did capsize his first time out.) Tune in for three odysseys on the rewards and challenges of rowing and learn more about this sport of a lifetime that instills many more thousands of rowers around the world with the goal of participating at the Head of the Charles – the sport’s annual celebration of competition, teamwork, and community.
