Hey friends! I'm going to be running the Girlfriends Run for a Cure 5K in Vancouver, WA on 8/18 as a fundraiser for Pink Phoenix. In June of 2016, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Only two years later, I'm doing a 5K! It's because of the support of my dragon boat team!
Pink Phoenix™ is the United States' first dragon boat team comprised solely of breast cancer survivors. Our mission: empowering breast cancer survivors through the sport of dragon boating. Our purpose is to demonstrate the quality of life breast cancer survivors can have; to promote wellness, fitness, fun and camaraderie through dragon boating; and to provide social, emotional and spiritual support for breast cancer survivors. Pink Phoenix™ strives to provide hope to those newly diagnosed and to serve as a reminder to women to have mammograms regularly and to do self-exams. Early detection is important and recent research indicates that exercise can also keep cancer from recurring.
Please consider making a contribution to this fantastic group of fighters and survivors. We are a small non-profit that supports women who are diagnosed and either have had treatment or are currently in treatment. We ask for your support to keep us "afloat" and paddling strong.
Thank you!
