Welcome to my fundraising page for CoppaFeel!

In September 2025 I received the news we all fear. I was told I had breast cancer. Within 2 weeks of my diagnosis, I underwent a mastectomy followed by 15 rounds of radiotherapy. I am now on a ten-year course of hormone therapy, putting me into early menopause, to reduce the risk of recurrence. 

My cancer was lobular, which unbeknown to me, can be hard to detect on mammograms. I was concerned about a change in the density of my usually 'lumpy' breast and was quickly referred for a mammogram and ultrasound. It's scary to know that my 70mm tumour presented as a 20mm area on my scans, especially given I didn't feel a typical lump in my chest. Knowing what is 'normal', or not, can play a huge part in early detection. That's why I couldn't be more passionate about the work that CoppaFeel! does.

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.

I am thrilled to have been given the chance to join this year's 120 strong team in June 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 5 day trek in the Jurassic Coast, in a bid to raise funds towards CoppaFeel's life-saving mission.
