Two weeks before Grace Rett died, she set an indoor rowing world record.
On Saturday, her College of Holy Cross teammates kicked off a rowing marathon called G.R.A.C.E. to the finish the event is serving as a virtual fundraiser, one year to the day after Rett embarked on that record-breaking rowing session of 62 hours and 3 seconds.
Rett was just 20 when she was killed in a crash in January when the rowing team s van collided with a pickup truck in Florida. Rett s teammates say they are still very much feeling the loss and have been finding ways to honor her legacy.
