Dragon Boat Atlanta
Breast Cancer Survivor Team
Dragon Boat Atlanta is a group of breast cancer survivors and supporters who want to increase awareness of breast cancer; who share the belief that there is quality of life after breast cancer; and show that exercise plays an important role in helping to achieve the highest quality of life. Dragon Boat Atlanta was started February 14, 2004. The survivor team is comprised of women from ages 33 – 67, in all stages of their cancer recovery. Most team members drive 1 hour or more, each way, from February through October, for a weekly practice at Lake Lanier, north of Atlanta. We are fortunate to be able to paddle at The Lanier Canoe & Kayak Club, a state of the art facility built as the rowing, and flat water canoeing and kayaking venue for the 1996 Olympics. The dragon boats we paddle are owned by the Hong Kong Association and were made in mainland China. In the spring of 2004, we formed an alliance with TurningPoint Women’s Healthcare as a part of their overall exercise program for women diagnosed with breast cancer. Without these three wonderful organizations, our dreams could never have become reality. It is our goal, as a breast cancer awareness team, to continue promoting health and exercise, as a part of the recovery process, by participating in community events and volunteering on local and national levels in organizations and events. We invite everyone to the 12th annual Atlanta dragon boat festival to be held on September 8 at the Olympic venue on Lake Lanier. Website: www.dragonboatatlanta.org
