Sue's nomination story

Sue is a founder member of Paddlers for Life Dragon boat Team, survivors and supporters of Breast cancer.We Paddle each sunday from Low wood Marina ,Windermere where we have 2 beautiful 42 foot dragon boats and provide support and exercise following diagnosis,treatment of Breast cancer our members cover all the North west and Sue has been very successful in helping to implement the set up of teams in Scotland so we are now known as Paddlers for life.co.uk. Why Sue ?? Well she is a truly inspirational Breast Cancer survivor who strongly believes exercise and ''Paddling'' has a positive effect on you coping with cancer and its treatments and is trying to succeed in it becoming a national programme of exercise following diagnosis.If anyone had ever said to me I would be in a Dragon Boat following Breast cancer I would of laughed as I am scared of boats and water but something changes after a Cancer diagnosis and Sue and the team were there to pick up the pieces and help me back on the road to recovery. Sue is definately our guiding flame in Paddlers and is perfect choice to carry the torch which she would do so proudly and where she will continue to shine brightly for all the Breast Cancer survivors in the Uk and around World. Thankyou June
