Our wonderful @cam_sight client Mary Leitch, from March, has found VI rowing sessions life changing. #visualimpairements #sightlosscharity #VIrower #BlindRower #CamSightCommunity #RowTheRhythm@loverowing_brcf @peterborough_city_rowing_club
Ever fancied trying out VI rowing? Join our CamSight clients as we meet next Friday (28 June) for another fantastic rowing session. You will be assigned a dedicated coach and completely supported by the members of Peterborough City Rowing Club. Video Description: Kate Lindgen has been rowing with Peterborough City Rowing Club for seven years. In this interview she talks about the sense of freedom and independence she gets from being on the water. In the video we see her out on a rowing boat with coach Pete, in a two man rowing boat. Then the pair sit alongside the boarding pontoon as she talks to the camera about her experiences over the past seven years. The weather is overcast and there are other boats on the lake. #BlindRower #SightLoss #VisualImpairement #CamSightCommunity #Wellbeing #CambridgeCharity #blindness #VISport @britishrowing @lindgren5789 Peterborough City Rowing Club
