GoPinkDC Dragon Boat

GoPinkDC Dragon Boat As a program of the National Capitol Area Womens Paddling Association, Inc. In the dragon boat, twenty of us sit two-by-two, paddling in sync.

in Washington, DC, we’re committed to helping breast cancer survivors of all ages discover the healing power of dragon boat paddling. Dragon boating with GoPink!DC is a life-affirming and life-changing experience that brings hope and recovery to survivors and supporters. It provides a support group and form of exercise for breast cancer survivors in any stage of recovery like no other. Our journey

here may have begun with the words “you have breast cancer,” but in the water, we find the camaraderie and strength needed to live every moment, heal and support each other. A dragon boat is a human-powered, canoe-like watercraft that dates back to ancient China. We are interdependent, each relying on the other to pull us all forward. In this action we learn something powerful: challenging ourselves on the water makes us stronger in life. Regardless of age or fitness level, dragon boating is a life-affirming way to build physical — and mental — fitness by spending time out on the water. We’re striving to build a diverse team filled with young women, working moms, retired grandmothers, you name it — plus the family and friends who have supported us every step of the way. Our on-the-water paddling season runs from late March through early November. In addition to weekly practices, we participate in festivals and races locally, as well as in other venues in the eastern United States. Sign up for news and announcements here.
