Sally Taylor joins dragon boat team for cancer survivors

Sally Taylor, a well-known BBC news presenter, recently joined a dragon boat team called Pink Champagne, made up of women who are all breast cancer survivors. She praised the group for their strong friendship and support for each other. The Pink Champagne team is based in Dorset, England. One team member mentioned that being part of the group helped many women regain their confidence. Taylor, who battled breast cancer herself in 1999, highlighted that sharing their experiences has the potential to help others. Members of the Pink Champagne team do not focus on their cancer diagnoses all the time. They believe that their dragon boating activities are important for both physical health and emotional well-being. One member stated that the sport now defines them more than their past with cancer. Since her own diagnosis, Taylor has been involved in raising awareness about breast cancer through various charities. She recalled a moment before her surgery that made her realize the seriousness of her condition. A documentary about her treatment journey was aired in 2000.
