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

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

Lighthouse Dragons are proud of our three team members, Betsy Burden, Heidi Kirk Garcia and Sabine Millien-Felix who have been honored as the 2020 Komen Florida Ford Warriors in Pink.

Warriors in Pink is a program supported nationally by Ford Motor Company recognizing women and men who live by the credo of taking charge, living out loud, harnessing power, and standing together.

Betsy, Heidi and Sabine will join four other Lighthouse Dragons team members who had the honor in previous years of being Pink Warriors. Pat Maher, Kelly Seitz, Debbie Brooks and Lisa Teetor. We are proud of all these women for their contributions to our local breast cancer community.

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.

I found it very hard to even walk when on chemo . I walked the dogs and some days could not even do that especially on the AC that really took the life out of me I would have to stop and catch my breath every few feet some days . But after that first week on chemo I felt better and was able to do a little walking I walked the mall as it was way to hot here in South Doc did say it was very important to exercise during chemo I did what I could.

Awesome news!even though it was a small study hopefully these findings will provoke even larger studies to back the smaller ones up!👍

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

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.

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!

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

Congratulations Scott! Great speech!! Such a beautiful dinner celebration for your amazing accomplishment!

Congratulations Scott! What a wonderful accomplishment. I’m in for that relay 100%!

Thanks and Congratulations Scott! Your speech was very inspirational! I’m in for the relay but I would prefer to kayak rather than paddle board.

Awesome! I would’ve joined you but had a previous engagement.

This one’s for all my dragon boat buddies out there!

For those who don’t yet know- Dragon boating is an ancient Chinese tradition which is actually soooo amazing for Breast Cancer survivors to participate in!

It’s a low impact form of exercise, with a repetitive action thats wonderful for draining the lymphatic system, reducing lymphedema and improving upper body muscle strength and increasing range of movement after surgery.

Pink paddling teams are now all over the world- a huge global success story for cancer survivors, and a sisterhood that is inspiring and phenomenal.

This cartoon pertains to the Sweep- (Steers person) of the boat. I’m learning to sweep my teams boat- it’s a huge responsibility and definitely not a piece of cake!

Much respect to those who step up to the back of the boat 🙌

This just in from our very own Scott Zednek who is in Bimini and will begin his 80 mile journey tomorrow morning to Florida on his paddle board. Join us in wishing a safe journey to Scott and all the other incredible folks who will be Crossing for a Cure.
Good luck Scott!

Hi All,
A big THANK YOU to all who donated and offered kind words of encouragement! We hit the fundraising goal and now I'm hitting the water very soon.

Please visit the www.crossingforacure.com website or download the app "Crossing for a Cure" to track my journey across the Gulfstream that begins midnight Friday in Bimini, Bahamas.

We anticipate landing at the Lake Worth Pier sometime between 3 and 6 PM Saturday.

I have a great support boat and crew that will make this a safe journey.

Cheers!!!

In one week, our very own Scott Zednek will be Crossing for a Cure. Let’s all support Scott on his adventure by making a donation right here to these two great causes, Piper’s Angels and Lighthouse Dragons.

The Crossing For A Cure is a long-distance endurance paddle challenge and international championship race that takes paddlers 80 miles across the Gulf Stream from Bimini in the Bahamas back to the Florida mainland. The event was inspired because of the incredible health benefits of the Ocean for those living with cystic fibrosis, a terminal lung disease. Travis Suit's daughter Piper was diagnosed with CF when she was four years old. ... See MoreSee Less

"For now, unless an oncologist has advised a specific diet tailored to your specific tumour, the most common recommendation is to eat a generally healthy diet. None of this challenges the principle that staying well nourished is part of a healthy approach to any disease, and there is no evidence that overall starvation is good or even safe. But focusing on specific patterns of eating will likely be part of many cancer-treatment guidelines in coming years.
Food is medicine — or metabolic therapy. And no metabolic therapy is good or bad for everyone in every condition." ... See MoreSee Less
