Team Canada’s Gwen Vernon and Cathy Prusak reflect on their world championship wins and the power of dragon boating for breast cancer survivors.

Breast Cancer Paddlers (BCP) competed in Germany at the World Championships for the first time ever. Two members of Chemo Savvy were among the Women's BCP team.

Total medals won by Canada BCP crew were 5 Gold and 2 Silver between standard and small boats.

Congrats to our teammates and the entire Canada BCP crew. You are an inspiration to us all.
