At approximately 1:00 pm (Pacific Time) 20 members of Abreast In A Boat, a steer and a drummer will have the honour of being a part of the six boat flotilla that will shadow the two torch relay boats escorting the Olympic Torch to Yale Town . <br /> <br />Dr Don McKenzie, founder of Abreast In A Boat, will have a seat in one of the two relay boats carrying the torch. What an incredible opportunity for everyone involved, and in particular, for breast cancer survivors around the world. <br /> <br />On behalf of the International Breast Cancer Paddlers Commission I am delighted to share this news. It is very fitting that our ‘Dr Don’ – an amazingly generous and humble man – who has given us the gift of the dragon boat, coupled with the brave originals from Abreast In A Boat, should be so honoured. This is such an affirmation of Dr Don McKenzie’s work re -exercise and chronic disease.<br /> <br />Without the work of Dr Don McKenzie and those brave originals in Vancouver – none of us would be enjoying the fitness, fun and camaraderie that comes post diagnosis of this insidious disease.<br /> <br />Visit this link for further Torch Relay details http://ibcpc.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ee31c379838a1b7596cb7f160&id=1f2bbb5722&e=58870b1403<br /> <br /><br />Michelle Hanton OAM<br />Executive President – International Breast Cancer Paddlers Commission<br />Founder - Dragons Abreast Australia<br />GPO Box 1948<br />Darwin, Northern Territory 0801<br />AustraliaUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558053621183960421.post-8718289238841950532010-01-13T08:49:00.000-08:002010-01-13T08:55:12.810-08:00January 2010!Happy New Year!<br /><br />We have a great meeting planned for January, please join us at the Hearst Cancer Resource Center- Tuesday, January 19, 2010- 6:00pm.<br /><br />Speaker: <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Shoosh</span><br />Enhancement, Inc (breast cancer retreats, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">lymphedema</span> education and more...)<br /><br />Feel free to bring your own snack or dinner.<br /><br />We look forward to seeing you there!shannondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08032290389913327373noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558053621183960421.post-5871003642306573112009-11-16T16:59:00.000-08:002009-11-16T17:03:37.131-08:00November meeting!November is here, and our meeting it tomorrow!<br />Please join us for an update from local <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">ObGyn</span>, Dr. Stefanie <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mikulics</span>, she will be sharing updates and wisdom for women with cancer and issues that we face as survivors!<br /><br />Also, I will be sharing updates from my meeting to Austin, Texas - <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Livestrong</span> headquarters and the Young Adult Alliance meeting! <br /><br />Please join us at 6:00- try not to be late, Dr <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mikulics</span> will only be with us for a short time!shannondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08032290389913327373noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558053621183960421.post-30018697796261104552009-10-04T22:29:00.000-07:002009-10-04T22:33:32.324-07:00October 2009 UpdateTuesday October 6th Central Coast Thermography will be presenting "Medical Breast Thermography for early detection, intervention & prevention of breast disease" at the regular meeting of the American Cancer Society Breast Cancer Support Group.<br />Time: 5:30 P.M.<br />Place: Hearst Cancer Resource Center, San Luis Obispo<br />Facilitator: Jan May<br />For more info, please contact either Jan by email (see above) or call the Hearst Cancer Resource Center @ 542-6234<br /> <br />Monday October 12th Central Coast Thermography will be presenting as above in Paso Robles:<br />Time: 5:30 PM<br />Place: River Oaks Hot Spring Spa, Paso Robles<br />For more info &/or reservations, please call 441-5557 or visit www.centralcoastthermography.com<br /> <br /> <br />Saturday October 17th: Awakening the Dragon!<br />Time: 2-4 PM<br />Place: Tidelands Park, Morro Bay<br />Come help the SurviveOars celebrate our new Dragon Boat, learn about Dragon Boat Racing (& practicing), help SurviveOars raise money for racing events by participating in our silent auction.
