Amber's Fight to Make a Difference

On October 14th this year I will proudly step into the ring to raise money for the amazing, strong and inspirational women from Dragons Abreast Townsville.

Commonly called "The Pinkies" Dragons Abreast Townsville is part of the National movement of Dragons Abreast clubs who, through the team sport of Dragon boat paddling, seek to help people with a diagnosis of breast cancer understand they can lead full and active lives despite the physical limitations imposed by breast surgery.

My beautiful mother was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago and it was one of the scariest and most emotional times of my life. My mum is everything to me but you don’t realise how much you take for granted that they will always be there until something like this happens. We are blessed that she went through surgery and made a full recovery but not everyone is so lucky.

I’m so thankful to be given the opportunity to be able to raise money for such a wonderful cause and with the help and support of my friends and family I hope to be able to make a significant difference.
