Stories of Strength & Thrivership Through Dragon Boat Paddling
Embedded Files
As a team, Paddles With a Purpose is proud to share more than just stories about dragon boat racing —
we’re sharing stories of resilience, friendship, healing, and hope.
We're a supportive community where women come together to rebuild strength, celebrate, and also move through challenges of survivorship while reminding each other you’re never alone. Along the way, we’ve been honored to have our journey featured by local — all the way to international — media outlets helping spread awareness about the physical and emotional benefits of dragon boating for breast cancer survivors.
Every article, interview, and feature we are so grateful for and helps shine a light on the incredible women in our boat and the community that surrounds them. (Important Note: we welcome male breast cancer survivors as well!)
Whether you’re a survivor, supporter, donor, family member, or simply learning about us for the first time —
we’re glad you’re here.
