We are Canadian Women living with breast cancer, paddling in Venice in the Vogalonga.

With our Italian friends we are here to celebrate and spread the news that a full and active life is possible after treatment for breast cancer.
Siamo un gruppo di donne col tumore al seno, veniamo dal Canada e siamo a Venezia per partecipare all'edizione 2009 della Vogalonga.

Insieme alle nostre amiche italiane, vogliamo dimostrare con entusiasmo e determinazione che, anche col tumore al seno, se curato, si puo' condurre una vita piena e attiva.

Gordon Campbell, the Premier of British Columbia joins us for a practice and a paddle on May 3, 2009.

Each year since 1975 paddling vessels gather on the waters between San Marco and San Giorgio on a peaceful Sunday morning in May.  Hundreds of paddling vessels filled with excited and colourful rowers wait for the gun which signals the start of the long non-competitive paddle.

 The 30 kilometer route will take the participants from St Mark's  to the islands of Burano and Murano, through the Cannaregio and Grand Canals finishing back at St. Mark's.
