The team Awakened Dragons is part of Dragon Boat Charleston. Dragon Boat Charleston (DBC) is nonprofit organization that serves more than 100 cancer survivors and community members in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. We nourish the mind, body and spirit of our members through the sport of dragon boating. Our members can be seen almost everyday paddling on the Ashley River. Our vision for our members and our organization is Redefining Cancer Survivorship .

After being diagnosed with cancer my coworkers, fellow package car drivers at UPS came together to support me and show me that I’m not alone for the fight that was ahead. During treatments, not a day went by that one of them didn’t not call. After my victory I wanted to give back and help others that had to walk the same path that I did and I ask the guys to join me, and here we are.
