Well…I could start off by telling you about how breast cancer could’ve affected me personally, but in all honesty whilst I did have a very real scare and my boob was chopped about a bit after having what felt like every doctor/nurse and staff member in the hospital looking and prodding at it, the truth is, I was absolutely fine…THANKFULLY. I was fortunately one of the lucky people who found a lump in my breast and it was benign, but the stark reality is that around 10,000 people under the age of 50 are diagnosed with breast cancer a year and unfortunately, it is often much more aggressive for the under 40’s.
That last fact was something that shocked me. I always thought younger = stronger/fitter but as I was told at the breast clinic; the prognosis for a breast cancer diagnosis in those under 40 is usually much worse than in older people. And that’s where CoppaFeel! come in…
CoppaFeel! are the first UK breast cancer charity to create awareness amongst young people, with the aim to instil a new healthy behaviour that could one day save a life. They are on a mission to ensure breast cancer is diagnosed early and correctly by getting the nation to check their boobs/chest regularly. They want to educate people on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, encourage them to get to know what is normal for them and empower young people to have the confidence to see a doctor if they notice anything that isn't right for them.
This isn’t just a charity for females, it’s aimed at everyone, that’s the genius thing about it! It’s entirely inclusive and aimed at all genders to ensure no one is left in any doubt or feeling embarrassed should they notice something that isn’t quite right.
Please, even a single pound has the power to spread the word and work of CoppaFeel! and it will make a difference to someone.
So yeah, drop us a quid (or few if you’re feeling generous) and go check for lumps and bumps!
Thank you!
