Story
Welcome to my fundraising page for CoppaFeel!
As many of you know, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2017, weeks before my 40th birthday. The following year involved surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, particulary challenging with 2 small children at home. At the time I knew of only 1 other woman to have had BC, but since then many more of my friends and acquintances have been treated for the disease, several of whom are younger than I was when diagnosed.
I had to be encouraged to go to the doctors for an initial assessment so the work of Coppafeel! is really important to me. Women (and men!) should know the signs to look out for and not dismiss them; early diagnosis is key.
This June I will set out on a challenging, extraordinary and life-changing trek, all in the name of checking chests! Along with Gi Fletcher and some other famous faces, I will embark on a 5 day trek in the Isle of Skye, in a bid to raise funds towards CoppaFeel's life-saving mission.
Your donations will not only support my fundraising target, but most importantly CoppaFeel!. They are 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.
Thanks so much for your donation & support. To find out more about CoppaFeel! head to www.coppafeel.org.
