Come and try!
With members of all levels of fitness, none of whom had ever been in a dragon boat, you are welcome to come and try throughout the year. The only criteria is that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer and be at least 3 months post-treatment.
If you’d like to try dragon boating, just email our new member coordinator Lorraine.

Who we are
The Plurabelle Paddlers is a breast cancer dragon boat club and registered charity based in Grand Canal Dock in Dublin and was founded in 2010 by Fiona Tiernan.
After treatment for a recurrence of breast cancer, Fiona decided to manage her health by getting fit. She was inspired by the breast cancer dragon boat movement first pioneered in Canada 15 years earlier.
