Let’s Talk about breasts
My Mum’s just had a book come out, ‘Internationally Abreast – Exercise as Medicine’ which she co-authored with Eleanor Nielsen. It’s a heart-warming book that covers the 25-year history of the breast cancer dragon boat paddling movement. This movement, this book, the community it’s about, are all very close to my heart.
