The Buddies

The Breast Buddies Dragon Boat Team was formed in 2001.

We are an enthusiast group of fun-loving breast cancer survivors who have taken up the sport of dragon boat racing. Our mission is to promote awareness of a quality of life after a diagnosis of breast cancer. In doing so we hope to impart hope and empowerment to all with this disease. On or off the water, we are a visible sign to others that there is life after a breast cancer diagnosis.
