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 gruelling 5 day trek in the Indian Himalayas, in a bid to raise funds towards CoppaFeel's life-saving mission.
There is no question: early detection of breast cancer saves lives. I am living proof of this, having being diagnosed with grade 3, stage 2 breast cancer at the age of 43, after discovering a lump in my breast. It’s been a long journey through treatment and recovery for me - 3.5 years so far - but finding the lump when I did means that not only was my cancer treatable, but was considered ‘curable’. All the treatment and multiple surgeries I’ve had over the last 3 years has resulted in me being declared as having ‘no evidence of active disease’. I was so, so lucky, things could have been very different for me and this would almost certainly not have been the case if I hadn’t discovered that lump when I did. I cannot stress this enough: early detection saves lives. Early detection saved my life.
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 much for your donation & support. To find out more about CoppaFeel! head to www.coppafeel.org.
