Thanks for the info on what people can do for cancer patients. I am currently a cancer patient with a good prognosis and was hoping to donate blood but all info I find seems I would be turned away. I guess Ill have to wait if Im out of the woods for some time to try again God willing.

Comment on Dragon Boat Races Benefit Breast Cancer Survivors by Michael
Kudos to all survivor dragon boat participants. Those that have been involved know how beneficial (body, mind and spirit) this activity can be. Fitness conditioning and rehabilitation, team building and camaraderie are just a few of the benefits. In Cleveland Ohio, the Cleveland Dragon Boat Association is a newly established group that seeks all interested paddlers and focuses on cancer survivors for team paddling activities. Viit our website at clevelanddragonboatfestival.com for contact information. Paddles Up!
