Welcome to my fundraising page for CoppaFeel!

This September, I'm off on an exciting trek in the name of checking chests! With Giovanna Fletcher leading the way, we'll walk 100km of the Great Wall of China over five days to raise funds for 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.

Although I’m not exactly 'young', I was still under 50 (just) when my breast cancer was diagnosed in 2024. No matter what age you are, it's still vital to have awareness, confidence and take early action.

Over the past two years, I’ve had four surgeries, eight cycles of chemotherapy, and a month of radiotherapy. I’m now partway through two years of targeted therapy and six-monthly zoledronic acid infusions, and seven years of hormone therapy. It’s a long and tricky road, but one I'm incredibly grateful not to have walked alone. My video follows the last two years, featuring just some of my incredible family, friends, gifts, flowers, delivered meals, birthdays, laughs and treatments along the way...

I’m hugely thankful for the greatest NHS care in Edinburgh, and all the love, support and donations I’ve already received. I plan to hold a few fundraising events throughout this year, and have also set up this page. If you’re able to help, even just throwing in a fiver now and then, sharing my page, or helping me fundraise, it would mean the world.

Every single contribution helps CoppaFeel! continue their vital work and could genuinely save lives.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, and for any support you can give. To find out more about CoppaFeel!, visit www.coppafeel.org 💕
