For the Global Canal Rowing Club (GCRC), the race is about more than crossing the finish line—it’s a movement toward a sustainable future.

Global Canal Rowing Action (GCRA), the driving force behind GCRC, launched a “Zero Carbon, Clean Water,” campaign at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, using rowing to highlight the importance of protecting waterways and reducing carbon emissions.

The campaign is built on three core pillars. “The first one is promoting rowing as a healthy sport, the second is the global sustainability campaign and the third is the human connection with water,” said Ken Lee, co-founder of GCRA and former Secretary General of the Asian Rowing Federation.

This was a unique occasion, as it was the first time that my mom had entrusted me to navigate the Nairobi beauty salons alone.

Imagine this: dialing your primary health care provider’s office to schedule a visit for a medical issue, only to be told that there are no appointments available for the next 18 months.
This may seem far-fetched, but it is the reality for many Boston residents. The city is home to some of the best hospitals anywhere: Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston Medical Center and Brigham and Women’s Hospital among them, and thousands of doctors.
