In June, just a few months ahead of my 50th birthday, I’m going to be joining Gi Fletcher and a host of other legends, on a 5 day challenge - trekking approximately 100km through the spectacular and dramatic landscapes of the Jurassic Coast.

This is going to be a huge personal challenge but one that I’m excited to jump into head first.

My first goal is to achieve and hopefully exceed my fundraising target of £2,500 in order to support the incredible work that Coppafeel does and I would be grateful for any amount that will help me reach my target.

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.
