The Plurabelle Paddlers is a dragon boat team based in the Grand Canal Dock in Dublin, Ireland. The team members have one thing in common, they have been diagnosed with breast cancer . We have set up a dragon boat team (think Hawaii Five-0) to:
- get fit
- enjoy the mutual support of team mates
- raise awareness of breast cancer.
We were all new to the sport and are inspired by the 150 or so breast cancer dragon boat teams worldwide. Why dragon boats? >>

A BIG thank you to all our supporters and friends who joined us on Saturday, 18th May to help celebrate our fabulous new clubhouse and three fantastic years of Plurabelle Paddlers! What a great party it was! Thanks to all those who contributed by bringing food and drink, helping to decorate the clubhouse, and taking visitors out for a paddle in the Grand Canal Dock. Check out a selection of photos from the day on our Photos and Videos page.
Good luck to all those of you who have signed up to run, jog or walk this year’s mini marathon for Plurabelle Paddlers.
