Dick Stein and Alice Wong (“1 More”)  

Alice began paddling in 2011 when she joined a cancer survivors’ team with the intention of taking back territory lost after her battle with cancer.  At that time, Dragon Boat racing events began to grow in the U.S. and around the world and there are now cancer survivor Dragon Boat divisions at most major Dragon Boat venues.  The Cancer League of Colorado is a supporter of the Phantom Dragons survivor program.  Their support is greatly appreciated!

Alice’s husband, Dick, began racing in 2019.  It was a great way for he and Alice to travel and race together.  They have both raced and received medals at the U.S. Club Crew National Championships and they have both raced in the International Dragon Boat Festival.  Alice received a bronze medal at the festival in Ravenna, Italy in 2024 with a team of cancer survivors.

Dick and Alice heartily agree that Dragon Boat racing is an exciting sport for individuals and teams of all ages and levels with races for individuals from high school age to over 60.  Final races at venues are based on earlier race performance or time trials so that the final races are composed of evenly matched teams.  Race finishes often come down to hundredths of a second. If you like being outdoors, being part of a team and you enjoy a good workout, Dragon Boat racing is calling you.
