Dragon boating has become closely connected to the breast cancer cause, as it has become “embraced as a complementary exercise therapy by…cancer survivors”. This sport has been recognized as a great form of resistance training to help with strengthening, recovery, and prevention of muscle contracture after breasts cancer treatment (Harris, S. 2012). The Let Her Run team has been formed with this mutual passion to raise funds for breast cancer research, to share our enjoyment of this outdoor water activity, as well as to promote and maintain our own physical and mental health. Our team strives to avoid drama, to share friendship, camaraderie, and friendly competition, to spread the passion and enjoyment of this incredible sport, and to raise awareness of breast cancer. We welcome all and any support your company, business, team, or self is able to contribute to our team, (whether that be through financial means, the donation of equipment or fundraising supplies, or through moral support and cheer) to help us make the most of our season and fundraising efforts.
