Every four years, the International Breast Cancer Paddlers Commission (IBCPC) holds a festival to which

breast  cancer teams come from all over the world.

2014 SARASOTA,  FLORIDA
​

In 2014, the festival was in Sarasota, Florida. There

were 102 teams in attendance from Canada,  the

U.S.,  Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Ireland,

Singapore and Great Britain.  You can get an idea of

the size of the  event  and the  excitement by

watching the video captured by the drone cameras

that were  ​overhead constantly.

The Survivor Thrivers came sixth in  Sarasota.  On 

the left,  is the video of our second race.  We don't

come into  camera range until 2 minutes into the

film: look for the lime green life jackets. Because

of the camera angle, you can't tell how far ahead 

we are until the finish line, but trust me, we 

​OWNED it!!
