Paddling for Life

Orit Ziv and her "Pink Lionesses", a unique women sports group, consisting of breast cancer survivors, that paddle on Dragon Boats, on the Sea of Galilee in Northern Israel. Their common goal is to recover, recuperate and combat their cancer. They have chosen optimism, action, caring for themselves despite the intense difficulties and fear they must rise from. "Getting up in the morning and going to practice, knowing that the disease was a surprise in the first round, I'm responsible for trying to make sure it does not return ..." About 200 women, between the ages of 29-79, from all walks of life, background and religions, are Pink Lionesses.
