As part of the team, the HRS rowers recently attended a rowing camp in Tzaneen as they continued their fierce training.
Competing for South Africa is a tremendous honour but comes with high costs. Boat and blade rentals are R235 000 for the U19s.
The team is appealing for donations to help with these costs and lighten the load for families.
