Today at Carpenter Park in the Port of Pittsford, House of Mercy joined parents, McQuaid’s robotics team, newly graduated classmates, faculty, staff, and community well-wishers to welcome the McQuaid Crew Team into port for a much-deserved lunch break.

The boys are making wonderful time and were in high spirits. Every rower came off the boat smiling, tired, proud, and ready to keep going. It was a beautiful reminder of what this journey is really about: young people using their strength, discipline, friendship, and faith to lift up our neighbors at House of Mercy.

They are rowing mile after mile across the Erie Canal for Row for Hope, and they still have a long way to go. Let’s show them the love they deserve.

Please cheer them on along the canal as they continue east. Today’s next great viewing spot is the Port of Palmyra Marina around 4:00 p.m. Upcoming stops include Newark, Clyde, Weedsport, Baldwinsville, Oneida Shores, Sylvan Beach, Rome, St. Johnsville, Amsterdam, Glenville, and finally Waterford/Albany.

Bring signs, wave from the canal path, say a prayer, and let these rowers know that House of Mercy and the whole community are behind them.

Go McQuaid Crew! Keep rowing for hope.

Here's a sneak peek from the coach's launch of the Row for Hope team practicing traveling through the Erie Canal's extensive lock system this week. Did you know that there are 35 numbered locks and 15 lift bridges on the Erie Canal? A special thank you to the operators of Lock 32 for helping the boys get the experience they need to be successful next week!
