💨 Abstract

"A support group in Brazil, Va'a Roses, helps breast cancer patients like Anna Lucia Amorim, 63, find solace and reclaim their lives through Va’a canoeing. Twice a week, these women, aged 52 to 70, train together as a source of motivation while soaking in nature's beauty. Their journey has also inspired coaches and officials to promote canoeing, expected to be featured in the 2031 Pan American Games.
