Welcome! I’m taking on a 5-day Jurassic Coast trek to support CoppaFeel! and help raise awareness of breast cancer in young people.

At 39, my life took a dramatic turn in 2024 when I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. This aggressive and fast-growing form primarily affects younger women, and I had always considered myself fit, healthy and low-risk. This diagnosis was a huge shock.

My cocker spaniel alerted me to my lump, and although I hadn’t been doing regular checks, I acted on that small moment. Seeing my GP, leading to my diagnosis.

Over the next 18 months, I underwent chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy. It was incredibly tough, both physically and mentally, and I’m still recovering, rebuilding my body and strength. During this time, I witnessed the devastating loss of some incredible women to this form of breast cancer while I was battling it myself. These experiences gave me the determination to raise awareness and support life-saving work.

This June, 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, 100km trek along the Jurassic Coast.

This trek represents far more than just a physical test. For me, it’s a celebration of recovery, resilience, and the ability to move forward after life-changing experiences. It’s my way of giving back, raising awareness, and helping ensure fewer people face late diagnoses in the future.

CoppaFeel! has become a charity that means so much to me. Their mission encouraging people to know their bodies, check their chests, and act on changes early, is vital. Early detection saves lives, and awareness truly matters.

Every donation, no matter how small, will go towards CoppaFeel!’s life-saving work. Thank you so much for supporting me and this cause that is so close to my heart 💛
