 Vale Jenny Petterson
We were all devastated by the news of Jenny Petterson's death on 30 June 2009 - it seems unbelievable that we will not see her smiling face ever again at any of our regattas. Jenny Petterson embodied the true spirit of Dragons Abreast – she was always there with a smile on her face enjoying every moment and really living life to the full despite breast cancer. Even though Jenny was able to achieve at the elite level of the sport she always remained, along with her sister Jo, a member of Dragons Abreast, happy to paddle in composite teams and share her knowledge. Jenny was also a willing and inspirational speaker who generously gave of her time to the breast cancer cause. Read more about Jenny |
