testimonials

In the boat we...Paddle together...Support each other...Learn from one another...Enjoy competition...Overcome fear...encourage others...make true friends...Take pride in our accomplishments...Break the silence of cancer...

Believe "It is what gets me through the day. If I didn't have belief I would not have the hope and without hope one may as well give up and that is something I just cannot do." — Anita Bassett Cochrane

“When you push off from the dock… we’re all in the same boat. This isn’t about cancer anymore. It’s about exercise and health and the rest of your life. When we push off we’re paddling away from breast cancer.” — Dr. Don McKenzie, Founder, Abreast In A Boat
