What happens when a group of breast cancer survivors climb into a 40-foot boat and start paddling together?
You get the Mammoglams — a Jacksonville dragon boat team turning survivorship into strength, resilience, and community!

In this episode, we’re joined by Pam Reckner, breast cancer survivor, Team USA paddler, and Team Captain of the Mammoglams, along with Jeri Millard, breast cancer survivor, longtime patient advocate, and Founder/CEO of In the Pink, a nonprofit boutique supporting cancer patients in Jacksonville. Together, they share how dragon boating has become a powerful part of recovery — improving mobility, supporting lymphedema management, and offering survivors a place to rebuild confidence and connection.

They also take us inside the global breast cancer paddling community, talk about what it’s like to compete internationally, and describe how the Mammoglams support survivors at every fitness level with a truly “no paddler left behind” approach.

In this episode:

• How dragon boating supports strength, mobility, and physical healing after breast cancer
• Why survivors describe the Mammoglams as a genuine “floating support group”
• Pam’s path from treatment to Team USA paddler and team captain
• Jeri’s advocacy journey and the origins of dragon boating in Jacksonville
• Insight into the international breast cancer paddling movement and upcoming world competitions
