Recovery on Water Details
Recovery on Water began as a collaboration between Sue Ann Glaser, an Evanston breast cancer survivor, and Jenn Gibbons, a rowing coach at Ignatius Chicago Crew (ICC). Jenn enlisted ICC student volunteers to attend practices to help lift boats and assist while receiving community service hours for their time at practice. She began hosting weekly practices in the winter months of 2007, and the first group of women began practicing on the water in the spring of 2008. The expansion of our team has led to numerous strategic partnerships. These partnerships include Imerman Angels, Gilda's Club, The Skokie Park District, The Lincoln Park Boat Club, and My Sassy Sleeve. The Breast Cancer Network of Strength featured ROW in their spring newsletter, introducing ROW to survivors throughout Illinois. Also, an article was written about ROW in the Make It Better Newsletter, a Northshore women's forum. In October and November of 2009, ROW was featured in Today's Chicago Woman Magazine. Most importantly, ROW continues to make a positive impact on the lives of its members. Breast cancer survivors who exercise reduce their risk of recurrence by fifty percent. Our team has found a group, a team and a sport that they are proud of and want to excel in. ROW provides an environment and opportunity for Chicago's survivors to get fit, fight back, and have fun!
