Our Saturday morning practices are always something to look forward to. But when the weather defies the expected bleak forecast and the sun rises to a beautiful morning, it becomes even more magical to be on the water.

After practice, we had our quarterly team meeting to discuss all the exciting activities ahead for the next few months. Look for us on the water and around town.

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. The festival is an international non-competitive participatory event for breast cancer survivor paddler teams who engage in Dragonboat activities as post breast cancer diagnosis rehabilitation.
We are still recruiting local breast cancer survivors to join us for this once in a lifetime experience; come join us at one of our practices and see what all the excitement is about!

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

I am amazed and wow'd by your commitment to this challenge!

Holy smokes! This commitment to support X4CF 2020 is totally awesome.

Flamingos were not the only stars at the PB Zoo last night. Our very own Lighthouse Dragons 2020 Komen Pink Warriors showed such strength and grace as they shared their triumph in the battle over breast cancer. Our mission to spread awareness and encouragement was well received by an audience of men women and children. Beautiful evening surrounded by nature. Feathers Up !!

“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.

Timeline PhotosJupiter 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

Timeline PhotosInktober/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
