The Great Flamingo Coast to Coast for CoppaFeel!

Claire Ray is raising money for CoppaFeel!

The Great Flamingo Coast to Coast! · 20 July 2025

We're the UK’s only youth-focused breast cancer awareness charity, on a mission to get every young person checking their chest. We want all young people to know the signs and see their GP if they notice any changes. We do this because early detection saves lives.

Story

Our Mission

On July 20th, our fabulous flamboyance of flamingos will embark on an epic 30-mile journey, waddling our way from Fowey to Padstow across beautiful Cornwall. Dressed in full flamingo regalia, we're taking on this coast-to-coast challenge along the Saint's Way to raise vital funds and awareness for CoppaFeel! - a charity that has touched the lives of so many close to our hearts.

Why CoppaFeel!?

CoppaFeel! is dedicated to educating young people about breast cancer awareness and the importance of early detection. Their life-saving message has helped countless individuals detect breast cancer early when treatment options are most effective.

Our walk honours those we have sadly lost to breast cancer, friends and family undergoing treatment, and survivors who are thriving today, thanks in part to the crucial early detection message that CoppaFeel! promotes.

The Challenge

Our flamingo flock will tackle the stunning but challenging terrain between Cornwall's southern and northern coasts. That's 30 miles in a single day - no small feat in full flamingo attire!

We'll be starting at sunrise in Fowey and aiming to reach Padstow by sunset, crossing some of Cornwall's most beautiful (and hilly!) landscapes.
