In case you are not aware of the sport of dragon boating. While the sport is thousands of years old, it was more recently recognized by a physician as an exercise that helps with after surgery recovery.
Now, there are dragon boating teams all over N America and beyond that have breast cancer survivor members who participate with other team members to find support, fund raise, and meet new friends.
DW and DD participate. Men are also welcomed but typically there is never an all man boat in a competition. So far, I’m a spectator. It maybe something you want to investigate. It looks like NO area may have more than one team.
