On 11th May, me and my dear friend Helen Watts (aka Wattsy) will set out on an extraordinary trek, all in the name of checking your chest!

I’ll start with telling you about my own story. On a Friday afternoon in March 22, I received the devastating news that no 38-year-old expects, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Wattsy, my rock, was right there by my side, holding my hand. It's a moment etched into my mind that never seems to fade. 

The months that followed were the toughest of my life, but having Wattsy's unwavering support made all the difference. From attending daunting appointments to making me comforting meals, she was there for me. She even defrosted my freezer whilst I was in my first chemo session to make sure I had room for meals! 

We all need a Wattsy in our lives! I feel incredibly fortunate to have a friend like her in my corner. 

Last year, in Sept as part of my recovery, I embarked on a 50K trek across the Alps for the breast cancer charity CoppaFeel! This year, I will be taking on a marathon distance in just one day across the Yorkshire Dales. But this time, I’m thrilled that Wattsy will be joining me together with the other amazing women. 

We walk in solidarity showing cancer who’s boss!

Your contribution, regardless of its size, can make a world of difference to the lives of women facing breast cancer. Thanks so much for your donation & support.
