At the beginning of feb my application was chosen to be given a spot to take part in one of this years CoppaFeel Treks! CoppaFeel is an amazing charity that aims to raise awareness on how to check and know the signs of breast cancer, with the aim to create new healthy habits which could lead to early detection. They want to educate on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, encourage people to get to know what is normal for them and ensure people have the confidence to see a doctor if they notice anything that is not their normal. This message is so, so important and raising awareness of the early signs will allow the time for treatments that really can save lives. 

As some of you may or may not know, last year the biggest ray of sunshine, my lovely mum, was diagnosed with Secondary Breast Cancer. Having got the the all clear from having Primary Breast Cancer in 2012, and staying clear at the 5 year goal, just before the 10 year scan mum noticed another lump in her neck. The breast cancer had returned and spread into the bones, lymph nodes and lungs. Mum is now currently going through treatment with the goal to prolong life in a comfortable way, rather than cure. This is something you never think will happen to your family and for my mum and everyone around her this has been a truly heartbreaking thing to be going through. I couldn’t be prouder of the fight my mum has and the smile she puts on for us everyday regardless. Early diagnosis may help to prevent breast cancer reaching this stage and this is why it is so crucial that everyone knows the importance of checking their chests/boobs/pecs - whatever you have!

So in June I will be trekking 100km over 5 days along the (very rugged and hilly 🥴) Pembrokeshire coastline with 100 other wonderful people, as well as Gi Fletcher and other CoppaFeel ambassadors! Between now and then my aim is to raise £2250 for CoppaFeel’s campaign, so any donation you can spare, however big or small, will be greatly appreciated to help smash this target and in turn help get their message out! 

I can’t wait to see what we can achieve and raise for this incredibly important charity! 

LETS KEEP SPREADING THE WORD AND CHECK YOUR CHESTS AND BOOBS GUYS AND GALS 💞👚🌸🎆💖

Ps - make sure you tell your people you love them every single damn day ❤️
