Connor's Erg 2024

Hosted by the Robert Connor Dawes (RCD) Foundation, Connor's Erg is a rowing challenge to help raise funds and awareness for kids with brain cancer. We're inviting gyms, schools, rowing clubs and individuals to register, and set their own rowing challenge in February 2024.

Use your brawn for the brain to help fight paediatric brain cancer, the #1 disease killer of young people.

Registrations will open late October.
