I am a 58 year old stroke survivor. I had my stroke in 2021 and I am a member of Singapore National Stroke Association. I took up para rowing with Rowing Empowered at Singapore Rowing Association in Singapore. Rowing involves alot of movement of the body and helps me strengthen my legs. To do rowing, I need to be calm and relaxed and this helps my mind. After doing rowing I feel I have achieved something new. Before this, I was afraid of trying something new. Advice to other stroke survivors is don't be afraid to try something new. There are many sports options available now so go on and try!
