The Ovarian Cancer Society Malaysia (OCSM), together with Breakfree Movement and the ROAM (Returning Ovarian Cancer Survivors to Activities of Daily Living through Movement) programme, is proud to participate in the Putrajaya International Dragon Boat Race 2026.
On 19 July 2026, Team OCSM will take to the waters of Putrajaya to represent not only ovarian cancer survivors and thrivers, but also the spirit of resilience, courage, and hope that defines our community.
For many of our members, the journey through ovarian cancer has involved surgeries, chemotherapy, targeted therapies, clinical trials, and numerous challenges. Through the support of OCSM and the ROAM programme, survivors have discovered the transformative power of movement and exercise in rebuilding strength, confidence, and quality of life.
Dragon boating is more than a sport. It embodies teamwork, trust, perseverance, and determination—qualities that resonate deeply with every cancer survivor.
Our participation in this event is about more than competition. It is an opportunity to:
Raise awareness of ovarian cancer in Malaysia.
Celebrate the strength and resilience of ovarian cancer survivors and thrivers
Promote movement and exercise as an important component of survivorship care
Inspire women facing cancer that recovery and meaningful participation in life are possible.
Highlight the importance of community support throughout the cancer journey.
Every stroke of the paddle represents the courage of women who continue to move forward despite adversity.
Come Support Team OCSM
We warmly invite our members, families, friends, healthcare professionals, partners, and supporters to join us at Putrajaya and cheer for Team OCSM.
Your encouragement will help motivate our paddlers as they represent the ovarian cancer community on the national stage. Whether you are a survivor, caregiver, healthcare professional, volunteer, or supporter, your presence sends a powerful message that no woman should face ovarian cancer alone.
Bring your family and friends, enjoy the exciting race atmosphere, and stand with us as we celebrate strength, survivorship, and the power of community.

At OCSM, we believe that every survivor deserves the opportunity not only to survive but to thrive.
