The Los Angeles Pink Dragons (LA Pinks) are California’s first breast cancer survivor dragon boat racing team. The team has been dedicated to improving fitness and quality of life for breast cancer survivors since 2003. Through dragon boat racing, we demonstrate that women with breast cancer can lead active lives that are full of possibilities. By taking part in this challenging, yet gratifying sport, we each strive to achieve our personal best in hopes of empowering and inspiring others who have been through this journey.
Breast cancer brought us together as a community of sisters who have shared a life-changing experience, and the dragon boat is our vessel to celebrate our survivorship and strength. We come together to paddle and to race, but also for the friendship, support, and camaraderie we share with our teammates.
We dedicate our passion and commitment to dragon boat racing to our pink sisters who will always paddle with us in spirit.
