The Dragon is coming...

Call your fellow paddlers and book your calendars -- Peterborough's Dragon Boat Festival returns this June, and registration will be opening at midnight on Thursday, March 8th, 2018 !

Our Organizing Committee has several new and exciting features planned for this year's Festival (keep scrolling to learn more...) -- but as always, all proceeds from the event support breast cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment in our region through donations to the Peterborough Regional Health Centre Foundation.

Survivor's Abreast's own Amy Semple shares her story of diagnosis and treatment
"It is unbelievable the magnitude of tests that they have to run
to support your survival."

High school teacher Amy Semple was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was just 32 years old. Now she's sharing some of her biggest fears and how donors to the PRHC Foundation helped ensure her survival.

As participants and fundraisers for Peterborough's Dragon Boat Festival, you have helped to save lives like Amy's by supporting fast, accurate cancer diagnosis and treatment at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre. Watch Amy's video to hear her story first-hand:
