Meet the FANTASTIC FOUR from Ottawa Rowing Club who will be racing for Canada's Junior National Team in July!

Maxim Froeschl, Jack Coulson, Samaya Khosla and Henrik Neuspiel have been selected to race for Team Canada at the International Rowing Challenge Regatta in Ann Arbour, Michigan on July 15-16.

The competition will be fierce, with crews lining up at the start gates from Australia, New Zealand, and of course, the United States. But these ORC athletes are up for the challenge - three members of this group have already competed at the international level. (One of them in a kayak!)

Competing at Junior (U19) level is independently funded, and these athletes are looking for help to cover their costs of $4,500 per athlete. This covers accommodation and food while in Michigan (they will be there eight days before the race), travel to and from Michigan, coaching, boat rentals, racing kit... and on it goes.

We thank you for any donation you can give and appreciate your support as these Ottawa athletes look to own the podium!
