If you are living with Breast Cancer then there is a silver lining! You can join in the fun and paddle with us. Most teams have regular introductory paddle sessions, so you can come and try it and see if dragon boating is for you. It's a great way to regain your fitness at your own pace and in a friendly, supportive environment. We paddle to demonstrate there is quality of life despite a breast cancer diagnosis. By being part of the team we help each other regain that sense of wellness, self-confidence and control in our lives. Although physically demanding, being involved in a dragon boat creates a new state of awareness. It is exhilarating and lots of fun.
