Breast Friends Paddling for LifeWe are an enthusiastic group of breast cancer survivors and supporters who thrive on the positive outcome that being involved in a dragon boating team provides. As well as gaining support within the team, we hope to show that there is a positive outcome from such a challenging journey.

Fundraisers
Cooking Up Your Breast Life As a group of wāhine toa we not only focus on paddling together with attitude, we also work hard to raise the money we need to keep our teams on the waters of Whanganui-a-Tara each season. We know that bringing a group of powerful, positive women together usually involves sharing nourishing kai. That's why we've decided to create this fundraising cookbook of our favourite foods, to share with you. Find out more and order your copy, here. |
