Internationally Abreast - Exercise as Medicine offers inspiration, hope and courage to those travelling the journey with breast cancer.
Within the pages are captured the foundation of the breast cancer dragon boat paddling movement across the globe. The history of the 25-year growth of what is today a worldwide movement sparked by a trial conducted by Dr Don McKenzie, a sports medicine specialist at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada, in 1996 is a remarkable tale.
Cancer is an insidious disease and yet, amongst those diagnosed is a global network of breast cancer paddlers congregated together, grasping the paddle firmly between both hands and living life to the full.
