                "description": "To combat breast cancer, an international movement began right here in Canada three decades ago: dragon boating. Currently there are 200 teams around the world, andWaves of Hopeis proud to be among them.Exercise is medicine, and dragon boating helps survivors of breast cancer revive and thrive. It connects survivors, building life-long bonds, and aids in strengthening the upper body, something that treatment often affects. There is nothing quite like hearing the beat of a dragon boat's drum, witnessing the synchronous dip of 20 paddles, and watching the result of 22 women’s strength skim across the water.Waves of Hopeis southern Manitoba's dragon boat team and offers members fitness, support, camaraderie, and cancer education and awareness. More than 40 paddlers come from all over the province's Westman and Parkland regions to practice each week at Minnedosa Lake, which gives team members a central gathering place.Waves of Hopeis a registered not-for-profit, and since 1999, the team has raised money to fight breast cancer and promote early detection."
