Next month a team of breast cancer survivors from across Tampa Bay will be traveling halfway around the world to compete in an international dragon boat festival. The Pink Dragon Ladies of Tampa Bay are paddling up and down the Hillsborough River a couple of times a week to prepare for the festival in New Zealand. They say they want to win, but more importantly, they want to support each other and have a good time. “It’s a lot of work. It's training, it’s technique, it’s trusting each other,” said Anita Ytuarte. “Dragon boating is the ultimate team sport because it’s all about being in perfect synchronization with each other.”
