It
takes a lot to be an international rower and our stars like Sanita Puspure,
Paul and Gary O’Donovan have been supported on their development before they
reached the level that they are at today.
Greenblades
will ensure that athletes who are representing Ireland will be supported to
reach their full potential and can compete at the highest level possible.
Rowing
Ireland’s Chief Executive Officer, Michelle Carpenter said “It is key that we do
everything to support our up and coming athletes as we prepare to successfully
support their future careers by giving them the opportunity to row in Paris and
beyond.
These
athletes are the future of Irish Rowing and we need not only to think about the
next two years but also about the next four and eight years.
Rowing
should be accessible to everyone who wants to compete, be it at Domestic or
High-Performance level, and with this, in mind, we need to ensure that we
support them in every way possible.”
Donations
for our athletes can be made: www.greenblades.ie

donations will go directly to the athletes who will be competing at U23
Championships in Sarasota USA and Junior World Championships in Tokyo, Japan.
