Story

Welcome to my fundraising page for CoppaFeel!

This June, I will set out on a challenging, extraordinary and life-changing trek, all in the name of checking chests! Along with Gi Fletcher and some other famous faces, I will be trekking approximately 100km across 5 days in the Brecon Beacons, in a bid to raise funds towards CoppaFeel!'s life-saving mission.

I was inspired to do this by my sister-in-law, Clare, and her bravery and strength in the face of diagnosis in her 40s. My grandmother also had breast cancer and my mum was a breast care nurse specialist for over 15 years so it is a cause that is very close to my heart. I know the importance of early detection and the impact that it can have on your prognosis. I've never done anything like this before but am excited to challenge myself (in the year that I turn 40!) to do something new and make a difference.

Your donations will not only support my fundraising target, but most importantly CoppaFeel!. They are on a mission to stamp out the late diagnosis of breast cancer by making sure that young people are regularly checking their boobs, pecs and chests and getting to know their bodies in order to have the confidence to see their GP if something just doesn't feel normal.

Thanks so much for your donation & support. To find out more about CoppaFeel! head to www.coppafeel.org.
