Rower Keeps Making Waves…Rowing Across Oceans!!!
Angela Madsen
Long Beach, Ca
If you take Roworx Rowing Classes at 6:30pm with Jack Nunn at the Boathouse (5750 Boathouse Lane, Marine Stadium) you have probably had the pleasure in meeting Angela Madsen or watching her go by as I tell class her amazing story. She is a true inspiration of the will to live life without limits!!! If you have not had the pleasure of hearing her story… here it is:
Angela Madsen of Long Beach became part of the first all-female team to row around Great Britain nonstop and unaided on July 23, 2010.
Fifteen years ago, Madsen, 50, could not imagine completing such a feat. After sustaining a back injury in the Marines, she underwent a surgery that did not go as expected. During the operation, her spinal cord was punctured.
