| The vision of a team of breast cancer survivors coming together to paddle a dragon boat in the beautiful waters of Long Beach, California began in 2002. Diane McCabe was a member of the Los Angeles Racing Dragons (LARD) who was a breast cancer survivor. She dreamed the dream and contacted Team Survivor Los Angeles who recruited the core group of survivors who began the team that became the Los Angeles Pink Dragons. |

| Los Angeles Pink Dragons, founded in 2003, is California's first dragon boat team comprised solely of women who have survived breast cancer. |
