Testimonials
“Survivors Abreast is a kinship. We are a team of survivors who have had a life changing experience and when we are on the water, our fears and anxieties drift away. Survivors Abreast is a lifeline of support on and off the water. Did I mention the best part? We have fun! “ – Marilyn Buxton
“Joining the team is probably the best thing I could have done for my emotional well-being. When I am paddling, somehow I don’t think about having breast cancer. Paddling keeps me in the moment and I feel safe” – Michelle Thornton
