Not even the rain held off the 2019 Syndenham Dragon Boat Challenge with a great turnout.
The Sydenham Challenge started 18 years ago in Wallaceburg and one of its founding members and organizers of the event Brian Armitage, has a personal history and attachment to the event.
Dragon boating and the benefits for breast cancer patients are well known across the country. The upper body workout a person achieves through the exercise of dragon boating is extremely beneficial for cancer patients, especially those dealing with breast cancer. This is the reason breast cancer teams are so well supported at these events, and currently these teams of brave women can be found across North America.
