Story

Welcome to my fundraising page for taking part in the Come Fly with Gi Challenge with CoppaFeel! to the Cornish Coast. 

I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2018 and underwent a Mastectomy, Auxiliary Clearance, Chemotherapy & Radiotherapy - I received the most amazing support from the NHS, Family and friends.

 I shared my story to raise awareness.

In the aftermath and as I began my recovery - emotionally and physically - I was bemused when I was asked by people various what my next challenge was going to be! My initial response was that I just wanted some semblance of normality - but hey I'm still alive - and I realised that I needed to do something to celebrate that and continue to raise awareness.

I applied to join the legendary Coppafeel trek led by the inimitable Gi Fletcher - aka - Queen of the Castle. I had a myriad of emotions when I received a phone call offering me a place......

I will be put into one of four teams and will be led by a celebrity team captain as we hike up to 8 hours a day including climbing, various terrain and humidity, all whilst competing against each other in grueling tasks along the way.Your donations will not only support my fundraising target, but most importantly CoppaFeel!, who are on a mission to stamp out the late diagnosis of breast cancer by making sure that young people are regularly checking their boobs and know their bodies to be able 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.
