Hi, my name is Lucas Maroney and this is my third time representing Canada at the World Junior National Championships! Once again, I will be competing in the junior men’s single event. Last year in France I placed 9th in the world and I am thrilled to be able to race on our very own Henley course in St Catherine’s this year. I am very grateful for all of my supporters who have helped me the past two years as athletes do not receive any financial assistance toward the activity fee. These last four years I have been training an average of 20 hours a week training morning and night while balancing a full course load in high school making it very difficult to find any time for a job to fund my rowing career. I am honoured to be able to represent Canada doing what I love. If you could donate, any amount would be greatly appreciated. If not I hope you have the chance to come support Team Canada August 18th to the 25th! Thank you.
