Who We Are

---

Some of us are receiving chemotherapy, radiation and other cancer-fighting strategies, while others have completed treatments, but are still working through the cancer experience. For others still, cancer is a distant memory. We are a diverse group committed to dragon boating as part of our self-care after cancer diagnosis.

 

No matter where we are on the cancer journey or in our athletic ability, our rise to the physical challenges of dragon boat paddling makes us this team of thrivers. Each time we are on the water we are reminded that we are vital and alive, and we become aware of the rewards of teamwork and personal accomplishment.
​

Please join us on this adventure of wellness. Your Wellness Warriors teammates will support you in living the best life possible after cancer.

We are the Wellness Warriors!
Our paddles strike the water in unison
Our boat glides through the river
Our bodies and spirits rise to the challenge

 

We are cancer survivors!
We are a unique floating support group
We laugh, we paddle hard
We celebrate each other, we heal

 

 

 

 

Dragon boats carry

my fervent wishes for your

long life! Good health! Peace
