Annually, the rowing community holds Australia’s longest and toughest race, the ‘Murray Rowathon’, as a fund raiser in support of the Royal Flying Doctors Service please see www.murrayrowathon.com.

This is the major annual event when rowers give back to the community.

In 2010 the rowing community gave nearly $20,000.00 to the Flying Doctors and this year, with your support, the organisers would like to raise $30,000.00 or more for the Royal Flying Doctors Service.

Organisers are currently seeking both participants, and sponsors for those doing it tough on the day.
