Story

Welcome to my fundraising page for CoppaFeel!

I was honoured to be selected to trek the Himalayas raising awareness and funds for CoppaFeel! in 2019. It was such an amazing opportunity to be part of the team and inadvertently caught the “trekking bug” in the process. The ability to raise awareness of breast cancer is the main motivation for supporting CoppaFeel! especially now that my oldest daughter is of an age where the message is even more relevant as she embarks on University life. During my previous fundraising I met so many people who had been affected by breast cancer. Trekking alongside so many inspirational individuals in the Himalayas, listening to their own personal stories and journeys put everything into perspective and was an an absolute privilege.

This time though I will be trekking much nearer to home (I don’t think I could get much closer to be honest). In May I will set out on an extraordinary CoppaTrek! challenge , all in the name of checking chests! Along with Gi Fletcher and other CoppaFeel! legends, I will be taking on marathon distance in one day, across the undulating terrain in the Yorkshire Dales, in a bid to raise funds towards CoppaFeel's life-saving mission.

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.
