I’m stepping into a dragon boat for something far bigger than myself—even though I can’t swim. The Dragonboat Festival is a reminder that courage isn’t about having no fear; it’s about showing up anyway. Breast cancer survivors face overwhelming currents, yet they keep paddling forward with strength, grace, and unwavering determination.

Their journeys are marked by resilience, teamwork, and hope—values that this race embodies. As I take on this challenge, I do so in honor of their perseverance and in support of a future where no one faces cancer alone. Your donation helps carry that strength forward, stroke by stroke, toward healing and hope.

The Dragonboat Festival is more than a race; it’s a powerful symbol of teamwork, resilience, and showing up even when the water feels intimidating.
