Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of para athletes. By donating to the Para Rowing Foundation (PRF), you provide opportunities for athletes with disabilities to pursue their dreams in para rowing. PRF offers vital resources to athletes at little to no cost, including properly fitted equipment, experienced coaching, and access to para rowing opportunities.
Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, PRF has already accomplished remarkable things, such as donating oars, ergs, and other equipment, hosting training intensives, supporting travel expenses, and covering race entry fees. However, there is still much more to be done.
Hear from the athletes:
In the video below, PRF speaks with Eelcko Henstra a PR1 rower and one of eight athletes on a high-potential and high-performance Intensive Training held at a European centre of rowing excellence, delivered and fully-funded by PRF. He took some time to share his thoughts and experiences in Portugal.
Eelcko was a national team rower before an unexpected injury in 2016. He is now a PR1 para rower and finding his way back to the sport he loved using his body’s capabilities in a different way.
Barriers to entry, physical and mental, and a lack of opportunity are common problems for athletes with impairments globally.
In this short video, Eelcko shares his experiences and how PRF helped him. YOU CAN HELP TOO! If you understand the value of investing in the transformative power of para sport for those with physical impairments, please make a donation to our PayPal or JustGiving donation sites to assist us in delivering vital initiatives like this.
As a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) organization, PRF relies on donations to directly support para athletes. Your contribution will go a long way in empowering these athletes and making a global impact on para rowing.
Together, let's envision a future where lanes and lanes of para rowers race down the course.
