Since her initial diagnosis 17 years ago - she had a recurrence of the dis ease six years ago - Bobbi Moore has become, in her own words, "more dar ing." "I'm not really a sportsman and I don't even care for the water. But I find now I'm more willing to try dif ferent things. It has made me more aware of the outside world and the dif ferent types of people involved in sports." Involvement in a sporting activity, where the focus is on developing skills and endurance and lighthearted com petitiveness, particularly with a gregar ious group of women, is an alternate type of support and one that's good for the soul, says Moore. "We don't discuss our condition that much but we know the support is there," says Moore. "It's just a differ ent method of support." Janet Wheeler parted dragon boat racing just after her chemotherapy treatments stopped, and before radia tion. "I did what I could. When I first started, I had no hair but that didn't bother me. It's a wonderful positive support group. "Seeing the women out there, you'd never know anybody had breast cancer. We are doing something for ourselves and it's a lot of fun." Family days are particularly mean ingful because husbands and children have an opportunity to blend, share stories and fears, and offer each other support, she adds. "It's really tough for the kids when the mother has cancer," says Wheeler. Cherie Duval joined the Knot a Breast team in January shortly after treatment. She had participated in dragon boat racing while living in Hong Kong and enjoyed the team spir it. "I raced quite a bit and I just want ed to continue the sport." Although a sore shoulder kept Duval out of the Great White North Races held this past weekend at Ontario Place, she was on the sidelines cheering her teammates on. "It's such a good group of women." They are a force to be reckoned with both on and off the water. "We all have a chance to paddle. We have a good time and we're actu ally starting to win some races," smiles Dorsey.

"I read an article in Chatelaine about dragon boat racing, and placed notices at Breast Cancer Support Services and on radio station CHML. I asked breast cancer sur vivors who were interested to call me. I had a team together in under two months." At the time, dragon boat racing was fairly new. "No-one had heard of it. It was all new to us girls." It remained an all-women team until earlier this year, when John Lowe of Niagara Falls, a breast cancer sur vivor (men do get it but at a much lower rate than women), saw a notice posted at a hospital looking for men and women to join the team. Now he's gotten over his shyness and considers him self "one of the gals." Knot A Breast, which lacks a corporate sponsor, lives on the m em bers' desires for fitness with builtin peer support, and dona tions. The Macassa Bay Yacht Club donates the use of its facilities, the team's three boats are donated by the Hamilton Chinese Business M en's Association, the team's two coaches donate their time, coffee and donuts come from the Kenilworth Tim Hortons, and the bagels and cream cheese the mem bers enjoy following races come from the Great Canadian Bagel Company at Burlington Mall. The team holds annual fundraising dances and garage sales, and held 50-50 draws at Tiger Cat games last year. "Unlike the Toronto team we have no sponsor and have relied on fundraising and donations from . gener ous people to keep our team afloat," said Scott. But, it's not enough to enter competitions requiring a considerable amount of travel, limiting to the team to com pete locally in Toronto, St. Catharines and Hamilton. Nevertheless, Knot a Breast is buoyed by winning the Breast Cancer Cup, as well as a division race, in St. Catharines recently. They narrowly missed winning Breast Cancer Cup at the Ontario Place races last weekend. "W e've raced against boats filled with guys aged 18 to 25, with only the mini mum requirement of eight women," says Scott. Potential corporate spon sors may call Lesley Scott at 336-3184.
