Story

I'm raising money for the breast cancer awareness charity Coppafeel, which is incredibly close to my heart after I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 30 after being told by 3 different doctors that I was "too young". Despite this I was incredibly lucky to have caught it early on - it doesn't bear thinking about what the outcome would have been if I allowed myself to be brushed off. Coppafeel's mission is to ensure that all breast cancers are caught early and therefore have the best possible prognosis, any donations enable this work and will help spread the word to as many people as possible!



I have spent the last 8 months as an ambassador for Coppafeel who are just as passionate about raising awareness of breast cancer in women under 35 as I am. The work they do is incredible and saves lives!



This September I am so excited to be taking part in the Coppatrek in the French Alps! This is going to be an incredibly challenging event, with 5 days of around 9 hours of walking at elevation of 4,000 feet! I'm hoping it will all be worth it by raising as much as I possibly can.
