Dragon boat team at Woy Woy

The Dragons Abreast Coast Busters team will be fundraising at Deep Water Plaza, Woy Woy, for breast cancer awareness on Monday, October 22.

"The Coast Busters will be selling merchandise to raise funds for The Cancer Council and Dragons Abreast Central Coast," said publicity officer Ms Vicki White.

"All donations will help women affected by breast cancer by funding breast cancer research, support and education."

The dragon boat team will be selling pink ribbon day badges, ribbons and wristbands.

The team will also have jewellery, badges, stickers, teddy bears and socks from the Coast Busters range available to buy.

The fundraising event will coincide with Pink Ribbon Day and October's breast cancer awareness week.

Ms White said the Coast Buster sales and donations will also enable the Coast Busters Dragons Abreast team to continue celebrating the successful transformation of local women.

"These women will continue to transform themselves from cancer patients to strong, vibrant paddlers, improving their fitness and quality of life," Ms White said.

"Dragon Boat paddling is a valuable post treatment resource which provides supportive care to women who have recently completed treatment and a physical challenge to those who wish to define their own limits."
