Welcome to my fundraising page for CoppaFeel!

This November, I will set out 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 Indian Himalayas, 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.

I first came across this amazing charity when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022 and I am passionate about shouting loudly about their mission. My treatment for breast cancer involved 8 rounds of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, 5 rounds of radiotherapy, an oophorectomy due to a positive BRCA gene and long term hormone suppressant medication. I see this challenge as an opportunity to remind myself that I am alive to do this stuff and also give me a kick up the bum to get the fitness back that cancer stole from me.

I'm also doing this for my Mum, a breast cancer survivor and super strong woman.

You know me, I'm not one to shy away from a challenge so I'll also be completing some long(ish) distance swims and bagging some Munros to help my training and persuade you to donate more money. And of course, I'll be running some community based fundraisers too.

Thanks so much for your donation & support. To find out more about CoppaFeel! head to www.coppafeel.org.
