Story
Welcome to my fundraising page for CoppaFeel!
As most of you know, I was diagnosed with primary breast cancer in January 2022 (nearly 2 years to the date), with chemo and surgery amongst other things I managed to get rid of that awful disease out of my body! For me I am extremely lucky as I found my cancer early on and that was all down to coppafeel's monthly text reminders! For so many others, they are not so lucky and when they find their cancer it has already spread which leaves them with incurable, secondary breast cancer. I diagnosis no one want to hear. Coppafeel are around to help change that! To help spread the message far and wide to everyone (especially young people) to make sure people are checking their boobs/chest/pecs!
If you know me you know I can definitely be a bit of a drama queen but I really do mean this with no dramatics attached that I believe coppafeel saved my life, and I couldn't be more grateful! It was during my monthly check after receiving my text that I found my lump which I knew was new for me. When I first found it, it definitely wouldn't have been something I would have just come across without checking! Most importantly if I didn't check monthly, I wouldn't have known 'my normal' and I would have questioned whether it was a new lump or not.
Sooooo for that reason.......
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 (ME, in the Indian Himalayas, can you believe it!!!!), 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 so so SO much for your donation & support. You are giving to a bloody great cause!!! Give yourself a pat on the back!! Oh also, whilst you're here and I have your attention..... please go and check your boobs/pecs/chest and get to KNOW YOUR NORMAL ! If you don't know how to you'll find all the information you need on the coppafeel website!
