Story

Welcome to my fundraising page for CoppaFeel!

This November 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 100km trek across 5 days in the Sahara Desert, in a bid to raise funds towards CoppaFeel's life-saving mission.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2023. It was a massive shock. I have no family history of any cancer, I was fit and healthy and don’t drink or smoke. I did not check myself regularly and would not have found the lump if it was not close to the skin. I was terrified! I was seen within a week and had a biopsy at that point I knew and my focus was on the clock. The passing of time. I watched the clock from minute to minute while they did the biopsy and felt time slipping away . Thats what we have right? TIME, the most important thing, time to spend with loved ones.

The next few months were surgery, chemo and radiation. Chemo was the thing I feared most and in my life and I had to face it. I"m in a place where I want to give back and connect with people that have had similar experiences.

CoppaFeel does crucial work raising awareness of breast cancer in younger people, which unfortunately is on the rise.

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.
