Don’t know if anyone has read the article on Dragon boating in Breast Cancer Care’s latest copy of news?
For those who haven’t Dragon Boating is an ancient Chinese sport, a form of canoeing where individuals paddle on one side. I came across it accidently last year and was amazed at how much it reduced my mild lymphoedema, this was backed up by my lymphoedema review. In addition I’m not sporty at all, but its an easy sport which all age ranges can participate and although there is a competitive element its about having fun and socialising as well.
Anyway I’m really interested in setting up a team for breast cancer survivors, as there is’nt one in the south east and have got the support of a team in Kingston. In addition to participating in a sport, I feel there would be additional support in regards to the big C.
If there’s anyone who is interested and would like further info, please contact me. Training is on a saturday morning and anyone can come and have a try, so go on be brave…you might really enjoy it!!
Hiya
I saw it too and thought it looked fun. Would love to give it a go (I’ve never done any rowing, though!)
Do you want to send me a private message about where to meet?

Hiya, I also find it very interesting and have spoken to an Australian women before who is involved a Dragon Boat Team in Australia and whom was never involved in this sport before her BC diagnosis. I would also be interested to give it a go; where in London will the training take place. Look forward to your reply. Ber
