Rowing for Life Aotearoa NZ

Rowing the entire length of New Zealand to raise funds for Charity

Welcome to our Coastal Rowing Adventure.



We are raising funds for the following Charities through the Rowing for Life Aotearoa NZ Givealittle page.

All donations will automatically be distributed equally between the four Charities. 

Lions Clubs Cancer Trust

Starship Foundation

Child Cancer Foundation NZ

Surf Life Saving NZ

Please Donate to help our charity fundraiser

And please Contact Us if you can offer assistance with accommodation, food or fuel.


The plan is to row the full length of New Zealand following the East Coast. Rowers and supporters from all areas are invited to participate in an area and distance of their choice. We will row in a coxed Quad Coastal Rowing Boat, averaging 40kms per day, weather and sea permitting. Lions Clubs NZ are arranging meet and greets at beach landings, food and accommodation where possible, and fundraisers along the journey. Watch out for a fundraising activity in your area.
