Dragon Boat Race

Hi all,

Speaking of Koman race, the cancer survivors have another traditional race, in the name of Dragon Boat. In early May, there will be a race at Charlotte. I believe there will be one or two teams from cancer survivors among others.

I know in other cities there are many similar participations.

I am trying to find a Dragon Boat team near Walnut Creek, Ca. I think it seems like a really fun thing to get involved with.

Hi I am a dragon boater, my team is called spirit abreast, We are from chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada. Our website is spiritabreast.com I have had so much fun with this team, last June we had a huge 10 yr celebration with 1600 breast cancer survivors that are paddlers from all over the world.
