Welcome to my fundraising page for CoppaFeel! 💕
This September, I’ll be taking on one of the biggest challenges of my life: trekking 100km along the Great Wall of China over five days to raise £4,000 for CoppaFeel!
For me, this is incredibly personal. I discovered I carried the BRCA2 genetic mutation when I was just 29. I had planned to have preventative surgery, but before that could happen, I was diagnosed with breast cancer while pregnant with my first son. I have since faced breast cancer for a second time, undergone multiple surgeries and had my ovaries removed to reduce my future risk.
I know first-hand how frightening a breast cancer diagnosis can be and how important it is to know your own body, recognise when something doesn’t feel right and have the confidence to get it checked.
That is why CoppaFeel!’s work matters so much to me. They are on a mission to stamp out the late diagnosis of breast cancer by educating and empowering young people to regularly check their boobs, pecs and chests.
The trek is going to be physically and emotionally challenging, but every difficult step will be taken for those who have faced breast cancer, those we have lost, and the generations we want to protect in the future.
Every donation, however big or small, will help me move closer to my £4,000 target and support CoppaFeel!’s life-saving work. If you can donate or share my page, I would be incredibly grateful.
Thank you so much for supporting me.. China, here I come! 🇨🇳🥾💕
