So, what is the movie “Pink Paddlers” about? Well, it’s an hour long documentary film that shows the strength and courage of a group of women who had battled and won against breast cancer. They decided to come together to do battle on a dragon boat and compete in the first-ever Breast Cancer Survivor Dragon Boat World Championship in Singapore.

Personally, I feel very strongly about supporting the Breast Cancer Foundation (BCF) as my mum had breast cancer as well. After going through the chemotherapy and radiation, she became a very active volunteer with the BCF and went around to the different hospitals to counsel and give encouragement to the affected women. Sadly, she suffered a relapse and passed away in May 2000.
