THUNDER BAY — If local dragon boaters appear to be gliding through the waters of Boulevard Lake just a little bit more quickly this summer, it’s not just your imagination.
The new craft will have a particular impact for the team, which is made up of breast cancer survivors and supporters, and supports those with a breast cancer diagnosis through sport. It’s the first time the group has purchased its own boat, an affirmation of sorts that after around 20 years of paddling, the Dragons have become a local institution that’s here to stay.“Really our purpose is to I think show people that have had a breast cancer diagnosis that there is a lot of possibility to live a full and active life during recovery, and even during treatment,” Piper said.
“We’re just so buoyed by all of this local support. We had so many generous businesses and individuals step up.”
