They come in all shapes and sizes. They could be your mother, your daughter, your sister, your girlfriend, your wife… even you. Ranging from a 65 year-old grandmother to a Singapore Girl air stewardess to a biker chick, half the ladies couldn’t even swim, but still picked up the paddles : They all have fought the same battle against breast cancer and found support and strength from being in the same boat. In September 2006, these ladies came together to compete against other fellow survivors from all over the world, in the first-ever Breast Cancer Survivor Dragon Boat World Championship - right here in Singapore.
This documentary tells their shared stories, sisters in their fight against breast cancer and their upstream battle to win the dragonboat race.

Message from the Director, Jasmine Ng Kin Kia...
HAPPY LUNAR
NEW YEAR and good health and harmony to all!
The film that i've been gladly toiling over in the last few months,
will have its Charity premiere at The Grand Cathay, on Monday, 26
March 2007.
This fundraiser-screening of PINK PADDLERS is in support of Breast
Cancer Foundation, Star Shelter for Women and UNIFEM.
There's no pretty or sexy way of raising awareness about breast
cancer, but everyone who has a mother, a sister, a girlfriend, a
daughter, a wife, needs to know that : -
Breast Cancer is the no.1 killer disease amongst women in Singapore
and in 2006, more than 1 woman lost her life each day because of
this disease, but precious lives can be saved with early detection
and there is life beyond breast cancer, as the Pink Paddlers are
living proof to this!
So buy a ticket for every woman you care about, your sister, your
daughter, your best friend, your wife, your colleagues...
Join them in learning and sharing the stories of the Pink Paddlers,
who range from a biker girl aged 26, to a 65-yr old school
principal, all paddling in a dragonboat because of breast
cancer.
The ladies and I appreciate your support - pls do spread this
message, on our behalf!
