Welcome to my fundraising page for CoppaFeel! This November I will set out on a challenging, extraordinary and life-changing trek, all in the name of checking chests! I am taking on 100km of Morocco's forbidding Sahara Desert in a bid to raise vital funds towards our life-saving mission.Your donations will not only support my fundraising target, but most importantly CoppaFeel!. They are a charity on a mission to stamp out the late diagnosis of breast cancer by making sure that young people are regularly checking their boobs, pecs and chests and getting to know their bodies in order to have the confidence to see their GP if something just doesn't feel normal.

In May 2020, I received the news that no 31 year old expects; I had breast cancer. It was fast-growing and aggressive, but we were very lucky to have caught it early. I was breast aware thanks to Kris Hallenga (the founder of CoppaFeel!) and I am so grateful for that. I knew that young women could be diagnosed with breast cancer and went to my GP without hesitation. I now recognise the importance of educating young people for early diagnosis, and that’s why I am raising money for CoppaFeel! The charity raises awareness and even sends texts to remind us to check our bodies for lumps and abnormalities. 

I attended every appointment throughout my diagnosis and treatment alone due to the pandemic. I could not think of a better way to celebrate the end of my “cancer journey” than to spend it with a group of wonderful women in the middle of the desert.
