River Spirit (Campbell River, BC)

We are a group of women made up of breast cancer survivors and supporters who, through their non-profit society, work to raise breast cancer awareness. Our society is the Campbell River Dragonboat Society and our team is River Spirit. We support people who are living with this disease to live full and active lives through paddling and provide an emotional network of hope for each other, our friends, and our community.
