Cancer survivors worldwide have adopted dragon boat racing, mainly due to the research of Canadian Sports Medicine Specialist Don McKenzie.
Patrice Adderley – a breast cancer survivor of some 23 years, says the sport unites different people in the fight against breast cancer.
With mixed receptions toward the discipline, survivor Carmen Patricia Forbes shares her experience and says she wants everyone to join the fight and get behind the events.
And corporate teams like Cable Bahamas Group of Companies’ Dragon Warriors aren’t getting left behind.
Melissa Miller-Deveaux, Dragon Warrior team captain and Cable Human Resources manager, is on board and encourages others to catch the boat.
