Limerick Dragons mark ten‑year anniversary with river celebration

The Limerick Dragons Breast Cancer Survivors Group celebrated its tenth anniversary with a “Splash on the Shannon” event on the river.

The milestone marked a decade since the group was founded to give breast cancer survivors the chance to try dragon boating. Over the years the club has expanded into a vibrant community, taking part in regattas across Ireland, raising funds for charitable causes and welcoming new members.

During the anniversary day both of the group’s dragon boats took to the Shannon, with members dressing up in fancy costumes to add to the festive atmosphere.

Chairperson Vidette Molyneaux said the celebration was about more than sport, highlighting the friendship, support and courage built within the group and thanking members, families, volunteers, sponsors and the wider community for their support.

The event underscored the club’s belief that sport and the outdoors can foster connection and resilience, and the group looked ahead to the next ten years.
