Story
In 2019 I had a shock early cancer diagnosis which happened to be caught by chance.
Though I have recovered, many do not get the same fate and I am doing a charity hike with Coppafeel! to help raise awareness of the importance of cancer symptom checking among young people
It would mean a lot if you would be willing to sponsor me; the target is £550. Even if you can give just £2 - any donation would be brill! Considering these charities are giving us the chance to live, anything that we can give back would be amazing, no matter how small.
Going to the GP about boobs and bits is uncomfortable, but it certainly isn't as uncomfortable knowing doing so could have actually saved your life. I hope my story has given you the reassurance to do this.
So girls, check your boobs and go to that smear! And fellas, check your prostate and pecs!
My friends and family were right, an early diagnosis really is a true blessing in disguise.
