Story
Welcome to my fundraising page for CoppaFeel!
This June, I will set out on a challenging, extraordinary and life-changing trek. I will be trekking approximately 100km across 5 days in the Brecon Beacons, in a bid to raise funds towards CoppaFeel!'s life-saving mission.
In March last year I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. I had primary breast cancer in 2021 but managed to get cancer free for 12 months before my secondary diagnosis. My cancer is unfortunately incurable and the only option I have is to try and stay on treatment for as long as possible, which will hopefully allow me time to make amazing memories with my family and friends.
I have had an incredible response to the targeted chemotherapy I am on which has only been available for 5/6 years. These treatments are life lines for patients like me and rely heavily on fundraising and clinical trials (which I hope to be a part of at some point)
Planning a trek like this is something I couldn’t even contemplate 6 months ago and the fact that I am still here to do it is a miracle. So I plan on working hard to get as fit as possible before June (lots of practice walks at weekends if anyone wants to join me) so bring it on 💪
Thanks so much for your donation & support. To find out more about CoppaFeel! head to www.coppafeel.org.
