It’s that time of year again – Hackney Half prep has begun! This year, I’m running in memory of my brother Jonny and raising money for the brilliant charity CoppaFeel!

The last time Jonny ran the Hackney Half, it was also for CoppaFeel – proudly sporting a big tit on his back! I won’t be doing that myself, though I might be hobbling along thanks to a slightly dodgy knee.

CoppaFeel! are the UK’s only youth focused breast cancer awareness charity, and we’re on a mission to get every 18-24 year old checking their chest. We educate people on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and encourage them to check their chests regularly, so that if they notice something unusual they are empowered to contact their GP and advocate for themselves. We do this because when diagnosed early, breast cancer treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher. Early detection can save lives and a gift to CoppaFeel! can save many.

Thank you so much for supporting me and helping CoppaFeel continue their amazing work raising awareness of breast cancer – it really means a lot.
