Making Waves

This is a Floating Support Group of Join the Journey

Why choose dragon boating as a venue for survivors?  Research has shown that breast cancer survivors who engage in repetitive activities, such as paddling, develop a marked improvement in  both physical and mental health.  Armed with positive effects of dragon boating, a group of enthusiastic breast cancer survivors from Rochester began to get organized and paddled every Wednesday evening in the summer on Silver Lake.  The team continued to meet in the winter months working on stretching and strength training.

Making Waves Floating Support Group:

Provides support for breast cancer survivors and supporters by participation in a variety of activities-paddling, exercise and social gatherings.

Paddle on Silver Lake weekly in the summer, Wednesday evenings at 6:00 p.m. (weather permitting)

Opportunity to participate in dragon boat races both in and out of state
