Inaugural Corporate/Community Dragon Boat Regatta
Cockle Bay – Darling Harbour
(In Association with Dragon Boats NSW Inc)
Sunday 19th October 2008

2008 is a very special time as Dragons Abreast are celebrating 10 years since breast cancer survivors took to paddling dragon boats in Australia. This October we are celebrating with a HUGE dragon boat regatta as it is what we do best!

Dragons Abreast Australia is a phenomenon that has grown enormously simply because we are filling a gap in the market place by helping post-treatment breast cancer patients regain full and active lives.

Happily a large percentage of women survive breast cancer these days but the transition from patients back into a full and active life is often difficult.  We are a highly effective element in the ongoing post-treatment management of breast cancer patients, delivering significant physical and psycho-social benefits.

All breast cancer survivors, regardless of age, gender, sporting ability or fitness are welcome to join Dragons Abreast where the focus is on participation and inclusivess rather than sporting prowess.

So - this October grab a bunch of pals help us raise some much needed funds so we can continue to reach out to those travelling the breast cancer journey!!
