Dragons Abreast Toronto
Toronto’s first breast cancer paddler dragon boat team, established in 1997, dedicated to improving fitness and quality of life for breast cancer survivors. We are now one of over 150 breast cancer survivor teams worldwide that serve to promote dragon boating as part of a healthy lifestyle, and provide a unique support for those fighting cancer.
We are a diverse community of people who have shared a life-changing experience, and the dragon boat is a symbol of our survivor-ship and strength. By taking part in this challenging, yet gratifying sport, we strive to achieve our personal best in hopes of empowering and inspiring others who are going through this journey.
Mission Statement
Dragons Abreast is a team of breast cancer survivors. The purpose of our team is:
- to encourage those living with breast cancer to lead full and active lives;
- to demonstrate the overwhelming benefits of exercise for those recovering from breast cancer;
- to raise awareness about breast cancer and the fact that there are many people living full and active lives following breast cancer.
