...a group of women from Vancouver, Canada and the surrounding metropolitan area, living with breast cancer. We participate in dragon boat racing to make a difference - to raise awareness about breast cancer and to encourage those living with breast cancer to live full and active lives. Abreast In A Boat is a non-profit society. Our goal is to send a message of hope to people living with this disease and to those who support them.

Mission Statement:

• To help people who have had breast cancer understand that they can lead full, active lives despite the physical limitations imposed by this disease.
• To improve the quality of life for people who have had breast cancer while research is being done to find a cure.
• To raise awareness about breast cancer.
• To encourage the pursuit of a cure.
