Half Marathon · 24 January 2019

We're the UK’s only youth-focused breast cancer awareness charity, on a mission to get every young person checking their chest. We want all young people to know the signs and see their GP if they notice any changes. We do this because early detection saves lives.

Story

This year I’ve decided is my year of half marathons. This is going to be a personal challenge for myself but also a great opportunity for me to raise as much money as I can for a charity that means so much to me.

The list so far:
- Bideford Half Marathon (03/03/19)
- Bath Half Marathon (17/03/19)

-Plymouth Half Marathon (19/05/19)

- Barnstaple Half Marathon (29/09/19)

- Royal Parks Half Marathon (13/10/19)


As many know, I’ve experienced a couple of scares since the age of 17. All of which have fortunately been benign but these experiences have been my driving force to encourage and educate as many people as I possibly can, to simply check their boobs. And this is why I talk about boobs, A LOT.

CoppaFeel! has given me the chance to meet some incredible women who have either had scares like me, had/living with BC or have unfortunately passed away from it and every single one of them make me feel so proud of be part of the CoppaFeel! family. Without CoppaFeel!, I would never have met these ladies. Without CoppaFeel!, many of these ladies wouldn’t have checked their boobs and caught their breast cancer early. Without CoppaFeel!, we wouldn’t be able to share our stories to help more young people get into a habit that could save their life.

CoppaFeel! work and campaign tirelessly to spread the boob love across the UK. Every single penny that you help me raise, will go straight into materials, campaigns, Boobette talks, the text reminder service, and so much more. These are the tools that ultimately help save people’s lives. ❤️

CoppaFeel! are the first UK breast cancer charity to create awareness amongst young people, with the aim to install a new healthy habit that could one day save a life. They are on a mission to stamp out late detection of breast cancer and ensure the nation is checking their boobs regularly. They want to educate people on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, encourage them to get to know what is normal for them and empower young people to have the confidence to see a doctor if they notice anything that isn't right for them.
