Rowing: Athletes have the influence to change

All the athletes that come to EUSA competition, and those who compete in university sport around the continent, are already winners. They are changing the world around them proving that you can combine top level sports with academic education. But, their impact can be even bigger and they can serve to much bigger cause.

Let us present to you Rowing team from University of Warwick. They are good at what they do during the race, but they are even better in what they do beside rowing. Every year men and women rowing clubs create charity calendars and they are going all the way.

They have chosen a form that is well accepted by the crowd and also causes a lot of reactions from the people, because every calendar has pictures that combine nudism and art. But the most important thing is that they manage to sell a lot of copies of calendar and they manage to collect more than 10 000 pounds per year helping charity organizations.

We aplaud their courage and that they help charity organizations with the money they earn from selling the calendar, and we cannot wait to hear your story of using sport to influence and help your community.
