Rowing against cancer has a long tradition in Hamburg

The charity regatta "Rowing against cancer" is an initiative of the "Foundation Living with Cancer". Since 2005, this regatta has been held throughout Germany in cooperation with local rowing clubs and oncological therapy facilities in order to support our patients with sports and exercise programs.

In Hamburg, the regatta is held on the Outer Alster, organised jointly with the Hansa Rowing Society. Every year, up to 75 boats with over 300 participants take part. In 2019 we were already able to celebrate our 10th anniversary in Hamburg – 10 years of rowing pleasure and the desire to help. The city of Hamburg has been involved through the patronage of the Senators of the Interior over the years and has also shown active sportsmanship at the deposit races every year.

Year-round rowing training for cancer patients

Boats made up of patient teams will also be taking part. In all-year preparation work is trained diligently with the coaches and the equipment of the RG Hansa for the regatta. The regatta day is a special experience for everyone, with the selection and storage races offering s a cheerful environment of getting to know each other, competing and enjoying the victory.

It is always a special moment for us when we can cheer on our patients in the boats. We treatment teams also go out on the water together with our cooperation partners and row for a good cause.

Such an event is of course not possible without the help of sponsors. In recent years, companies such as AstraZeneca, Merck, Indivumed, Sysmex, medac and Novartis have supported and accompanied us in our project.

We would be delighted if you too could join our charity idea and support the event with your own rowing team or even with a sum of money from sponsors.
