I look at the clock. It’s five? in the morning. It’s still dark and cool as I get out of bed. All is quiet in the house as the family continues to sleep. There’s a strange feeling in my stomach. It’s Race Day today!
A hearty breakfast and a quick walk with the dog. A final check that everything is packed. Then changing into the race uniform and off I go, paddle in hand.
The race venue is a buzz of activity. People everywhere, having breakfast, sharing goodies. I wave ‘Hi’ to friends. We cram together, exchanging jokes and snacks. We laugh and wait.
Finally, we hear our team called. Jumping to our feet, we go through warming up exercises, have a drink of water and slap on some sun block lotion. With a clap of hands and a shout ‘Go! Go! Go!’, we race down to our boat, paddle in one hand and bum pad in the other.

When I had a relapse for the fifth time, I was extremely depressed and sad. I felt unwell from the treatment but thanks to the support and encouragement of the PS team, it gave me strength to go through that difficult time.
Joining the PS team allowed me to meet fellow cancer patients and survivors, to share experiences and take part in activities like dragon boat racing and get-togethers. This has made my life more positive and enriching.
Finally, my sincere thanks to all PS team members, for your care and comfort during my illness.
Amy’s original message in Chinese:
当癌症第5次复发时，心情是非常的沮丧与悲伤。
在治疗的过程中带来的身体不适，幸好，龙舟队友们给我的支持与鼓励。坚强的力量让我渡过这难关。
参加P.S龙舟队后，能接触到各种癌症患者与康复者，大家分享抗癌的经验，也参加他们的各种活动（类似：划龙舟，聚会等等）让我生活更加的积极与充实。
最后，我由衷的感谢龙舟队友，在我患病的期间给予我的关怀与安慰。谢谢！

Kate Wong from the Pink Spartans a Dragon Boat Team for cancer survivors participated in "Let’s Fly Kite".
Each year in October, Singapore will be "lit up" in pink to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM). This is a time to celebrate the triumphs of breast cancer survivors, to reflect on those who have lost their battle to the disease and to encourage women to go for breast screening for the early detection and treatment of the disease. more…
