No ka poʻe hoe waʻa e komo ana i ka Tail of the Fox Regatta ma De Pere, Wisconsin, he bonus ka haʻuki no ke noi kulanui a i ʻole he ala e hoʻopiha ai i ka manawa hou i ke kau hāʻule. Akā no ka hui hoʻokahi, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka manawa i ka wai.

ʻO kēia kime, i kapa ʻia ʻo Recovery on Water (ROW), hana ʻia a puni nā maʻi maʻi ʻaʻai umauma a me nā mea ola. Hoʻopili nā wahine o nā hanauna he nui a me nā mōʻaukala like ʻole i nā moku e heihei-ʻaʻole e lanakila, akā no lākou wale nō hiki. (E hui me nā wahine hou aʻe i huli i ka hoʻoikaika kino e kiʻi hou i ko lākou kino ma hope o ka maʻi kanesa.)

Ua hoʻomaka ka hui ʻo Chicago ma 2007 ma ke ʻano he hui pū ʻana ma waena o ke ola maʻi maʻi maʻi ʻo Sue Ann Glaser a me ke kumu aʻo hoe waʻa kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Jenn Junk. Hoʻohui like, hana lākou i kahi kaiāulu ʻaʻole wale e kōkua i nā wahine e hōʻemi i ke koʻikoʻi a noho i ke olakino, akā hāʻawi i kahi kākoʻo hoʻokahi-o-a-ʻano no ka mea nā mea maʻi na nā maʻi. ʻAʻole wale lākou i kākoʻo piha kekahi i kekahi, ua loaʻa iā lākou ka manaʻo o nā mea pāʻani nui i ka ʻoihana hoʻoikaika kino: E hāʻawi ʻo Athleta i kahi makana i ka hui no ka hoʻohanohano ʻana i ka Breast Cancer Awareness Month a ke hōʻike nei i nā wahine ROW. i kā lākou hoʻouka kaua no ka mahina. (E pili ana: Pono e ʻike ʻia e pili ana i ka maʻi maʻi umauma)

"Inā ʻaʻole na ROW, ʻaʻole maopopo iaʻu kahi aʻu e hele ai i kēia huakaʻi i kēia manawa," wahi a Kym Reynolds, 52, kahi mea i koe i ka maʻi ʻaʻai umauma i noho pū me ROW mai ka makahiki 2014. "He ʻōnaehana kākoʻo maikaʻi kaʻu me ʻO koʻu ʻohana a me koʻu mau hoaaloha, akā ua manaʻo kēia mau wahine iaʻu he ʻāpana wau i kekahi mea. Ua hāʻawi mai lākou iaʻu i kumu.

Hoʻokipa ʻo ROW i nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa a puni ka makahiki, ʻehiku lā o ka pule. I ke kauwela, ke kauwela, a me ka hāʻule, lālani lākou i ka muliwai ʻo Kikako; i ka hoʻoilo, hana lākou i nā hana pūʻulu ma nā mīkini hoe hoe i loko. (E pili pū ana: Pehea e hoʻohana ai i ka mīkini hoe no ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa Cardio maikaʻi aʻe)

Ua lilo ʻo Reynolds i mea hoʻokiʻekiʻe mana a ua ikaika mau, akā ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hoʻāʻo i ka hoe waʻa a hiki i kona komo ʻana i ROW i Malaki 2013, ma kahi o ʻeono mahina ma hope o kāna mastectomy pālua.

ʻAʻole ʻo ia wale. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā lālā ʻaʻole i hoʻopā i kahi hoe a hiki i ka hele ʻana ma nā puka o ka hale ākea. ʻO Robyn McMurray Hurtig, 53, i hoʻolauleʻa wale i kona makahiki ʻewalu me ROW, a ʻānō ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke noʻonoʻo i kona ola me ka ʻole. "I ka wā e hoʻoikaika nui ai lākou iā mākou, noʻonoʻo wau, 'He mea ola au i ka maʻi maʻi maʻi umauma, e kīkē! ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke hana i kēia!' Akā ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake e lilo i ka mea e ʻōlelo 'ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu,' no ka mea, ʻehiku mau wahine ʻē aʻe i loko o kou moku i hele i loko o ka mea like, "wahi āna. "I kēia manawa, manaʻo wau e hiki iaʻu ke hana i nā mea āpau a lākou e hoʻolei mai ai iaʻu."

Hoʻohui pū, nā lālani o ke kime i regattas, nā heihei, a me nā hoe waʻa e kūʻē i nā kime mākua, nā kula kiʻekiʻe, a me nā koleke. ʻOiai ʻo lākou wale nō ka hui o kā lākou ʻano i nā hanana, ua ʻōlelo ʻo McMurray Hurtig ua hele lōʻihi lākou i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, a ke paʻa nei lākou i kā lākou iho ma ke kahua hoe waʻa kūloko: "ʻAʻole mākou i manaʻo nui, a ʻo ka poʻe a pau. e hoʻomaikaʻi mau iā mākou… akā i kēia manawa ua hoʻokūkū liʻiliʻi mākou; ʻaʻole mākou e hele mau i hope!"

ʻOiai ʻaʻole lākou i waho e lanakila, lawe nā wahine i ka home i kahi manaʻo ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi mai ka mālama ʻia ʻana e like me ka hana ʻana e like me nā ʻaleʻale: ke hana nei i kēia, "wahi a McMurray Hurtig. "He mea hoihoi loa a hoʻoikaika a hoʻoikaika."

Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā wahine o ROW ma mua o kahi hui haʻuki. "ʻAʻole wale nā ​​wahine ma ka wai," wahi a Reynolds. "ʻO mākou kekahi hehena o kahi hui kākoʻo e mālama kekahi i kekahi-a makemake mākou āpau e aloha i ka hoe ... ʻAʻole mākou e noho a kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka maʻi ʻaʻai, akā inā aia kekahi mea āu e pono ai, ua hele kekahi ma kēia hui Ua hōʻike mai iaʻu he kaikuahine koʻu."

I ka makahiki 2016, hiki i ka ROW ma kahi o 150 mau mea ola maʻi maʻi umauma-kokoke 100 ka nui o ka poʻe i ʻōlelo ua hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻo ROW iā lākou, he ʻāpana o ke kaiāulu, a ua hopena maikaʻi ia i ko lākou manaʻo ponoʻī, e like me ka loiloi lālā makahiki o ROW. Ua ʻōlelo kekahi o nā wahine ua kōkua ka haʻuki iā lākou e hoʻomaikaʻi i ko lākou neʻe, a 88 pākēneka i ʻōlelo ua kōkua ia iā lākou e mālama i ke kaupaona olakino.

"ʻO kēia ka mea maikaʻi loa i hiki mai iaʻu mai ka puka ʻana mai o kēia maʻi ʻaʻai," wahi a Jeannine Love, 40, ka mea i ʻike ʻia i Kepakemapa 2016 a hui pū me ROW i Malaki. He wahine kāne make ʻo ia i ʻelima mau makahiki ma mua o kona ʻike ʻana, a ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻo ka hoʻoikaika kino kekahi o nā ala nui i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai ka make o kāna hoa. I ka loaʻa ʻana o kāna maʻi maʻi kanesa, huli hou ʻo ia e hoʻomaʻamaʻa hou: "ʻO kaʻu pane koke ʻana ua makemake wau e ola olakino e like me ka hiki ke komo i loko. "Manaʻo nui ʻoe ʻaʻohe kōkua ke hana ʻoe me kekahi mea e like me ka maʻi ʻaʻai, a hāʻawi kēia iaʻu i kahi ʻano o ka hiki ke hoʻomākaukau no ia mea, ʻoiai he mea liʻiliʻi loa ia e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻomākaukau." (Pili: 9 ʻano o ka maʻi 'aʻai umauma pono nā kānaka āpau e ʻike e pili ana)

E like me nā lālā ʻē aʻe o ROW, ke hoʻomau nei ke aloha i ke aloha, akā ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hoʻokū iā ia mai ka hoe ʻana ma ka maʻamau: "Hoʻomanaʻo wau i ka hele ʻana i kaʻu hana mua a ke kau aku nei nā mea āpau a maopopo leʻa ʻaʻole ʻoe ' E hōʻike wale a hoʻomaʻamaʻa a hoʻi i ka home. He mau hoaaloha lākou. He kaiāulu ia, "wahi āna. "Ua makaʻu nui wau e hele i waho ma luna o kēlā waʻa i ka wā mua, a i kēia manawa ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke kali e hele i ka wai."

Kani e like me ke kime lanakila iā mākou.
