Who Are We?
Breast Friends was formed in 1998, so that Edmonton-area women could participate in the world-wide pink paddling movement, which started in Vancouver. Team members range in age from mid 30s to late 70s. Some have faced cancer more than once. We train together eight months of the year, both in the gym and on the water. While health, awareness and fun are key, so is competition!
We race against other women’s teams and against our peers — other breast cancer survivor teams. Breast Friends crews travel to, and participate in, festivals that have a breast cancer survivor component in Canada and abroad.
