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! Along with Gi Fletcher and some other famous faces, I will be taking on the a 5 day trek across mountainous terrain in the French Alps, in a bid to raise funds towards CoppaFeel's life-saving mission.
I was diagnosed with Stage 2a Grade 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer in May 2022 aged 28. It came as a complete shock to me and I endured 10 long months of intensive treatment including 5 months of chemotherapy, major surgery and 3 weeks of radiotherapy, and I will be on preventative medication for the next year. Although I have been through an incredibly challenging time, I have been lucky in that I caught my cancer early, after checking my boobs and going to my GP when I discovered a lump. Thanks to being proactive, after my surgery in December 2022 I was declared cancer free! However some people are not so lucky which is why I’m fundraising to raise awareness about the importance of checking your chest.
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.
