USA

Since 2001 Hope Afloat USA has been paddling on the
Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This team
has attended all the International BCS festivals – Vancouver
2005, Australia 2007, Peterborough 2010, and Sarasota
2014. They are very excited to be participating in the 2018
IBCPC festival in Florence! These paddlers have built a
community based on deep friendship, meaningful purpose,
and a passion for dragon boating. They are dedicated to
changing the image of survivors by leading full and active
lives after breast cancer with the belief that this healthy
adventure can help fight the disease. This amazing group
of women live by their motto – Friendship, Fitness and FUN!
