🌟✨ Throwback to the article by QNS about the incredible journey of Leah Salmorin, the inspiring founder of Paddle for the Cure! 🚣♀️💗
In 2004, Leah faced one of life’s toughest battles – breast cancer. But rather than succumb to despair, she turned her adversity into a beacon of hope, not just for herself but for thousands of others. Today, we celebrate her resilience and unwavering spirit!
Founded in 2013, Paddle for the Cure has been a lifeline for many, offering the therapeutic embrace of dragon boat paddling to those fighting breast cancer. Leah’s vision extends beyond mere treatment; it’s about fostering joy, health, and healing through the beauty of nature.
As Leah eloquently puts it, “Water is a part of healing.” 💧 Her journey from the Philippines, where swimming connected her to her late father, to the waters of NYC, is a testament to the power of perseverance and love.
From receiving treatment at NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst to ringing the Nasdaq Stock Market Opening Bell, Leah’s impact knows no bounds. 🛎️📚 And her upcoming events, like Bowl for Hope and rowing, continue to spread rays of optimism.
Let’s join hands (and paddles) to support Leah and Paddle for the Cure in their mission of spreading hope and love. 💕 Visit pfcnyc.org to learn more and get involved!
