The Great Flamingo South West Coast Path Stomp for CoppaFeel! · 12 September 2026

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

On September 12th, our fabulous flamboyance of flamingos will embark on an epic 30-mile journey, waddling our way from the Devon/Cornwall border to Boscastle along the epic (and oh-so-hilly) South West Coast Path.

We will be tackling the first stretch of the SWCP. The route takes in some of the most punishing terrain on the entire South West Coast Path - it will be a serious undertaking that will punish our knees, test our nerves, and take serious training.

We hope to do subsequent stretches every 6 months (or so) until we complete all 277 miles!!

Dressed in full flamingo regalia, we're taking on this mighty challenge to raise vital funds and awareness for CoppaFeel! - a charity that has touched the lives of so many close to our hearts.

Outstripping Last Year's Epic Challenge

Last year, 50 of us flamingos walked the 30-mile Saint's Way from Fowey to Padstow (in one day) and raised a PHENOMENAL amount for CoppaFeel. We hope we can do even better this year!

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

We'll be starting at sunrise on the Devon/Cornwall border and aiming to reach Boscastle by sunset, crossing some of Cornwall's most beautiful (and hilly!) landscapes.
