WHAT IS IT? Raising Money for beyondblue by participating in a rowing machine marathon (42km), half marathon(21km), or 10km row. Participants set up a fundra
ising page and are sponsored by family and friends as a spur to complete the challenge! WHEN IS IT?
2pm 9th September 2017, for a 3pm start, followed by drinks and bbq, the proceeds from which will be going to beyondblue. Henry Jarvis, the creator of Ma-Row-Thon, is a long time sufferer of depression. Last year was a particularly bad time for him and during that time it was the resources that beyondblue provided that assisted him through the worst of it while struggling with both depression and the difficulties of life in a new city full of strangers. It was pure chance that landed Henry at Melbourne Rowing Club, after walking to the Yarra and deciding to ask one of the members how to join as he was washing his single at the front of the boatshed. Rowing helped Henry build a group of friends, got him back into exercise and healthy eating and lifestyle habits, and has greatly improved his ability to deal with his condition. Ma-Row-Thon is Henry's opportunity to give something back to Melbourne Rowing Club and to beyondblue
