Story
Welcome to my fundraising page for CoppaFeel! This September I will set out on a challenging, extraordinary, and life-changing trek, all in the name of checking chests!
After my own breast cancer diagnosis last year, I connected with some amazing people on Instagram and was shocked and saddened by the number of very young women who are being diagnosed with this devastating disease.
Women of all ages need to be more breast aware, to know their bodies and boobs, and to take action should anything change and not be their "normal"
Thankfully I caught my cancer quite early and have now recently had my one-year all-clear. Others are not so fortunate, and their diagnosis has come too late, by which time cancer has spread making it incurable. Many of these women have not been taken seriously by healthcare professionals and had to fight to get heard.
Along with Gi Fletcher and some other famous faces, I will be taking on a 5-day trek across mountainous terrain in the French Alps, in a bid to raise funds towards CoppaFeel's life-saving mission. 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.
