Dragon Boat Races Support Breast Cancer“Treasured Chests” team from WellStar Kennestone Cancer Center won the Most Spirited Award at a recent Dragon Boat Race Breast Cancer Awareness Event.

By Sara Owens, BSN, RN, OCN, Breast Health Nurse Navigator

This year Cancer Support Services participated in the third annual Acworth Dragon Boat festival and race at Dallas Landing. Dragon Boat racing is a tradition spanning 2,000 years, originating in China. Twenty paddlers row a 40-foot boat decorated with an ornate dragon’s head with a drummer at the head of the boat keeping time. In 1995, Dr. Don McKenzie from British Columbia identified that Dragon Boating provided a good source for upper body exercise for women following breast cancer surgery and that it would not cause swelling or lymphedema. Since that time, hundreds of Dragon Boat teams supporting breast cancer awareness have formed all over the world. Dragon Boat Atlanta, along with Loving Arms Cancer Outreach and the local community, created the festival in 2016 to act as a fund-raising event and to support cancer patients and their families. Loving Arms assists patients from Bartow, Cobb, Carroll, Cherokee, Douglas, Paulding and Pickens counties. They provide financial assistance (gas cards, grocery cards, medication and utility assistance), access to free wigs, scarves, hats and prosthesis, as well as social support through their support groups and events. WellStar Kennestone Hospital’s Cancer Center team, composed of those from multiple departments, provided sponsorship for the event and also received the Spirit Award from the organizers.
