Cathy Hurst

Breast cancer survivor

Hi, my name is Cathy. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010

I wouldn't class myself as a water baby, and I remember the first time I sat in a dragon boat and saw the choppy water I thought: "Are you mad?" 

But after the session, I knew it was the sport for me, and now I'm an international Helm. 

The camaraderie at our club is second to none. I love paddling, and I love spending time with my paddling buddies.
