Dragon boat racing motivates cancer survivors

Meghan McDonough, an assistant professor of health and kinesiology, studies the quality of life for breast cancer survivors who participate in dragon boat racing. McDonough studied other teams in Canada and has found social relationships established on racing teams play a big part in psychological outcomes, specifically quality of life issues including social support, managing stress and positive psychological growth. The boat in the photo is an example of a dragon boat.
