Dragons Abreast

Hi Kylie,

It was very moving! You can see the petals ceremony on youtube if you wanted to see it.

It sounds like you and your mum have a really special bond, thats great. My mum is quite distant to me lately thats why i paddle. Its like having 20 other mums who genuinly care about me its a nice feeling. I felt as though once i had finished treatment i was all alone thats why i have thrown myself in with BCNA and Dragons Abreast and i will never look back or feel lonely again!!

If you wanted me to email you some photos just let me know. Unfortunately i have none of the illawarra team, i think we raced them every race..

Much love, Danielle xx

Hi again Danielle,

Mum said it was a fantastic day and very moving.  It was a shame it wasn't all over the news, I would have loved to see it.

Mum sent me a text message during the Survivors Ceremony saying "this one's for you".  I don't think I have cried so much since my diagnosis and I am determined to be there next year too!

Hi, My mum is in the Illawarra team. 

She also has a broken ankle (3 places) and is wearing a cast!!!!

Mum gives me inspiration every day and has been a pillar of strength for me.
