Story
Welcome to my fundraising page for CoppaFeel! This September, CoppaFeel! will set out on a challenging and life-changing trek, all in the name of checking chests! With Giovanna Fletcher at the helm, our fabulous community of trekkers will take on 5 days of mountainous terrain in the French Alps!
As some of you may know I was diagnosed with a rather aggressive breast cancer in August 2021 - I have undergone 8 months of multiple very strong chemotherapy’s, had a boob removed and 15 doses of radiotherapy to well and truly blast it! I am very fortunate that I am currently No Evidence of Disease.
My physical and mental health have taken a battering over the past 2 years but I am pushing the limits to raise money to try and ensure that everyone can survive this b*stard disease. The bad boob club is a club you never want to be in, but it is filled with the most wonderful people. Sadly many people I have met along the way are no longer with us. I was originally meant to trek in June 2023 but unfortunately my bad boob continued to cause problems and I underwent further surgery making medically unable to participate - it’s going to be a BIG push to be ready and prepped for this mammoth task ⛰️⛰️ but as many of you will know… I’m quite stubborn 😳 I have a bit further to fundraise to hit target so watch this space for fundraising events and giveaways.
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.
