Story

Welcome to my fundraising page for CoppaFeel!

In 2016, our family had the devastating and completely unexpected news that Kate had breast cancer, at the age of 28. Back then we were young and care free, newly weds and new parents. Fit and full of life, in a million years we never would have thought that Kate would or even could have been diagnosed with cancer. The truth is, anybody, no matter their age or even gender can be affected by breast cancer.

Kate quickly discovered Coppafeel and was so passionate about their message. Whilst going through treatment, she was so selflessly open about her journey for the cause, which resulted in several ladies to reach out to Kate after taking inspiration and finding their own breast cancer early. Seeing first hand the importance of awareness of breast cancer and how to check for it only furthered my passion to continue this support.

Kate sadly passed away in March 2019, at the age of 30, and is missed immensely by everybody that knew her.

I feel so honoured and privileged to have the opportunity to support this charity, the opportunity of contributing to a mission Kate was so passionate about and further support the vital work Coppafeel do could not be turned down!

This November I will set out on a challenging, extraordinary and life-changing trek, all in the name of checking chests! I am taking on 100km of Morocco's forbidding Sahara Desert in a bid to raise vital funds towards our life-saving mission.Your donations will not only support my fundraising target, but most importantly CoppaFeel!. They are a charity 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.
