Breast Cancer Pink Ladies In Action
Hi All
Partly due to the reason that my favorite color is pink, that attracted me last year to join the Breast Cancer Foundation (BCF) as a volunteer. Pink is the color of being in good health. It signifies tenderness and manifests the higher qualities of love, and at the same time can bring fun, delight and surprises to your life.
Having worked there for more than a year and interacting with the ladies, I can never tell that they are survivors. Many a times I feel they are much more alive than some of the healthy friends I have come across. The laughter they generate at the center, the drive they possess in their daily tasks, the passion they show in their various activities, and all this their friendship and bonds being forged are the envy of many of us.
This weekend (29/9 - 1/10), for the very frist time, the International Pink Dragon Boat Council (IPDBC) is holding a Breast Cancer Dragon Boat World Championships competition at the Marina Bay, Singapore. Dragon boat teams from 10 countries will take to the water in events like the 200m and 500m distances for breast cancer survivors and their supporters, and a novelty race in which paddlers must wear pink.
Admission is free. For more info, go to www.bcf.org.sg, or if you are interested in signing up for the novelty race, you can call Grace Ong of BCF, Tel: 6352-6560 or email her at grace@bcf.org.sg
Have fun!

I forgot to mention - our Singapore Pink Ladies actually won a gold in one of the events. This is a fantastic occasion as all the previous events they have competed in eg. Vancouver, Hong Kong, they have always come in the last few teams.
Well done ladies! We are so proud of you!
