In this episode of Last Stroke Counts, we have the pleasure of speaking with Erin Kennedy, a current Paralympic & World Champion and World Record Holder in PR3 Mix4+. Not just a successful cox at the GB Rowing Team and Leander Club, Erin is also a former Oxford Blue, a mentor with WOX (The Winning Cox), and a recent survivor of breast cancer.

Her journey has been nothing short of remarkable. From leading her crews to victory to navigating her way through cancer treatment, Erin’s resilience and spirit are truly inspiring. We also delve into the unique challenges and rewards of coxing, sharing insights for coxes and rowers at all levels. Erin’s bubbly personality and wealth of experience shine through, making this a conversation filled with laughter, learning, and motivation.

As Erin sets her sights on the Paris 2024 Games, she’s also on a mission to spread awareness about breast cancer, emphasising the importance of self-checks and early detection. This episode is a must-listen, not just for those within the rowing community, but for anyone looking to be inspired by a story of fighting back, overcoming odds, and leading with positivity and strength.

So, join us and Erin Kennedy in this uplifting episode, as we explore the power of leading, winning, and overcoming in the world of rowing and beyond where every last stroke, and every challenge, counts.
