We are Determined in spirit And Mighty of heart, Busting the myths surrounding exercise after breast cancer. A Place To Come Together - A Place To Feel At Home
Paddling the waters of Docklands, Melbourne you will find DAM Busters Breast Cancer Survivor Dragon Boat Club embracing life. A fun-loving group of survivors, thrivers, and supporters who have been together since 2001 bonded by a common life experience – breast cancer. Over 22 years ago, Professor Don McKenzie answered one of the most asked questions by breast cancer survivors, β€œIs exercise safe after breast cancer surgery?” After many studies involving dragon boating specifically, his answer and ours is a categorical YES! Our mission is to be a voice for breast cancer awareness, to support survivors, acknowledge supporters, and, above all, have fun! We are PASSIONATE about life and paddle together to demonstrate that anyone can thrive after breast cancer. NO other sport makes us feel the way dragon boating does!

Our very own Efrosini who is affectionately known as Fross in our boat, is a member of The Pancretan Association of Melbourne who have helped raise an incredible $13,000 to aid cancer research by the National Breast Cancer Foundation.🩷

The fundraiser which featured guest speakers, live auctions and raffles as well as a scrumptious high tea for the guests was held last month and exceeded the expectations of the organisers!
Well done to Fross for her part in making this event successful, we are very proud of you! πŸ‘πŸ‰
