Lighthouse Dragons are looking forward to attending and participating in the New Zealand 2022 festival which will involve a selection of teams from the current 240 IBCPC member teams, from 30 countries across all continents.

Thank you to our Lighthouse Dragons veterans, Maria and Toby, and to all who served, for your service to our country!

Lighthouse Dragons sure know how to have fun at a dragon boat festival and look good, too! There were a lot of firsts for our team this weekend and we are so proud of our team's effort in the race. The day was chilly and breezy as a cold front came through. Our first time race steer handled our race boat like a pro in these conditions. We had a few first time racers, a new stroking duo and a brand new drummer. A lot of excitement as our newest racing team came together as one and raced towards the finish line with smiles on their faces. ... See MoreSee Less

Inktober/Pinktober Day-12 Dragon

“To hell with circumstances, I create opportunities “ Bruce Lee

Breast Cancer?...Enter the Dragon!
Dragon boating is the silver lining for many diagnosed with Breast Cancer.

As little as twenty years ago, breast cancer survivors were told not to do any strenuous exercise for fear of causing Lymphedema- an incurable swelling of the arm, brought about by surgeries and radiation.

A Canadian sports physiologist, Dr Don McKenzie questioned this logic, and designed an experiment which involved breast cancer survivors training and paddling in Dragon boats. His ground breaking study proved that repetitive, upper body exercise did not increase the risk of developing Lymphedema, and in fact the exercise had far more beneficial effects for breast cancer survivors. Lymph fluid was pumped away, muscles and bones were stronger. The women who participated became fitter and happier.

These very brave breast cancer survivors, defied the existing medical advice at the time and came out the other side changed women. They had enjoyed the activity, support and friendship of paddling together so much that they created the worlds first Breast Cancer survivors Dragon Boat team- “Abreast in A Boat. “

The fun, excitement and challenge of dragon boating for Breast Cancer survivors has now spread across the globe from Australia to Argentina, the Americas and Europe, to become a world wide phenomenon.

The pink paddlers race against Breast Cancer, will lead thousands to New Zealand in 2022 for the next International Breast Cancer Paddlers commission (IBCPC) participatory Dragon Boat Festival.

What if one opportunity could change your life? It can and it does.

We will be there, bike & all pinked out.

Jupiter Medical Center and the Margaret W. Niedland Breast Center are proud to present the “Pink Chair Project,” a campaign that honors breast cancer patients and survivors and raises awareness about breast health during the month of October.

Now in its second year, the project features chairs decorated by breast cancer survivors and patients whose designs reflect the inspiration that helped them navigate through their diagnosis and treatment. The chairs will be on display at businesses in Jupiter and the surrounding communities throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Each chair is as unique as the designer and is accompanied by a display that explains the origins of the concept.

Continue following us throughout the month of October as we feature survivors and their chairs. To learn more about The Pink Chair Project and chair locations, please visit https://bit.ly/2noIY3V

Inktober/Pinktober Day 1- RING
⠀⠀
The words “You have Breast Cancer” is the wake up call nobody wants to receive.
⠀⠀
RING, RING, RING, RING- Those four little words will be ringing in your ears for a very long time. Factor in alarm bells ringing, hands wringing and white noise and you just want to stick your fingers in your ears and yell no more!!
⠀⠀
But you can’t drown it out. The phone keeps ringing now. It becomes your frenemy- will it bring you good tidings or despair? Nerves are shot. You’re screening missed calls and avoiding answering machine messages at work from unknown phone numbers in the days following a blood test or scans. The day is spent fretting and trying to calm yourself as you wait to rush off to the fall-in-a-heap-privacy of your own home. Anxiety levels are through the roof!!
⠀⠀
It’s times like this that a ring and a chat from a friendly face can be music to your ears.
⠀⠀
💕💕💕💕
Today is the first of October- the month which provides an opportunity to promote Breast Cancer awareness. Please ladies and Gentlemen #checkyourboobs. Become breast aware so you can notice changes, and detect anything unusual early. It could save your life

Great job today Heidi!

Lighthouse Dragons members and Pink Warriors started off Breast Cancer Awareness Month tonight with the launch of the Pink Chair Project. This project is the brainchild of the fabulous Sue Goulding of Jupiter Medical Center, to spread awareness throughout our Jupiter community with these incredibly gorgeous chairs, each unique and created by local breast cancer survivors. Lighthouse Dragons is always proud of our survivors and their contributions to our community and our cause. Thank you Hamilton Jewelers for hosting this lovely event honoring our survivors and for the wonderful gift bags.
Be sure to look for these chairs throughout our town! ... See MoreSee Less

We are still in awe at having a guest coach tonight of the caliber of Derek Schrotter and Gina Di Primio of Paddle Sport Performance! They hail from Ontario and totally blew us away with Derek’s awesome coaching and Gina’s rock star stroking. Who knew we would have world champions on our boat tonight? Thank you both and please join us absolutely anytime! 💪😃👍🏻 ... See MoreSee Less

yay! you all are welcome to shelter in Sarasota if it comes to that!

Anyone want to walk by the beach in the morning? Sunny here.

Way to go all! Been thinkining about you!

Be safe!!

We need your help!
We are looking for a new home for our dragon boat team. For over 4 years, Lighthouse Dragons have enjoyed paddling on the beautiful waters in Jupiter, thanks to the generous support of so many in our community. We are now losing our home due to development in the area, and need your help in finding us a new place for our breast cancer survivors and supporters to paddle.

If you know of any places in Palm Beach County or Martin County that would make a good home for our team of breast cancer survivors and supporters, PLEASE message us or send an email to LighthouseDragons@gmail.

Thank you! ... See MoreSee Less

Thank you girls for representing all of us. Sorry I couldn’t join you.

Lighthouse Dragons team mates Toby, Debbie, Pat and Shelly attended the Dragonheart Vermont Sisters At Heart Celebration. A two day festival celebrating sisterhood and survivorship through dragon boating. Our composite team boat, The East Coast Connection, had paddlers from Florida, Vermont, New York, Kentucky and New Brunswick, CA. We connected with old friends and made a lot of new friends.
We received some fabulous coaching from 22Dragons of Canada, then enjoyed two days of racing, singing, dancing, bagpipes, Zumba, Taiko drumming and so much more!
A special tribute was made during the flower ceremony, when all ten survivor boats were connected on the water, in remembrance of our team mate Catalina Palacio. It was truly a heartwarming weekend. ... See MoreSee Less

Hey there. I was one of the people singing for the Flower Ceremony with Bonnie Aharonian. Sorry we didn't "connect" with you, as my dad Jack Blanchard was up from Jupiter - he lives right near the lighthouse. 💜

Great quartet to represent Lighthouse Dragons !!💜

Beautiful picture!! ❤️❤️❤️

Glad you had a fun time!

Fun to have Glenda all the way from her Singapore dragon boat team join us in tonight’s paddle. Great workout and lots of laughter on the boat.

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of our beloved dragon boat sister, Catalina Palacio. When Catalina joined Lighthouse Dragons in late 2016, she was full of energy and love for dragon boating and especially our breast cancer mission. So much so, that she saw a vision to bring dragon boating to the breast cancer survivors in her home country, and a year later, Dragonboat Colombia was formed in Cartagena. She was a visionary, always positive and energetic, in love with life and the people she met. Her energy and smile was contagious, always bringing out the best in each of us.
We will certainly miss you, Captain Catalina. ... See MoreSee Less

In case you haven’t heard, we brought home two GOLD medals this weekend! Our BCS and Mixed division performance was extraordinary. It was a crazy day of racing with five boats capsizing, but our steers people kept us safe and crossing the finish line without incident. ... See MoreSee Less
