Story
As many of you may know, I was diagnosed with an aggressive breast cancer in 2021 aged just 32 - I had no warning signs until I found a lump. Whilst I live daily with the side effects of my cancer treatment and the debilitating side effects I’m incredibly lucky enough to LIVE. Many women I have met across my journey are not as fortunate. So once again I’m on a mission to get everyone checking their chests and donating to a cause that is dedicated to the same vision ❤️
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 and accurately, breast cancer treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher. Early detection truly can save lives.
The side effects from my treatment can limit my physical capabilities and I deal with daily issues but I am digging deep to raise funds by attempting to trek the vast terrains of Iceland. It will be a physical and mental battle but a battle that is so worth it to raise vital funds and awareness.
