The Pink Buddies are group of breast cancer survivors who are committed to providing inspiration and information to other women diagnosed with the disease and undergoing treatment.

In previous years, the Pink Buddies have raised money for several charities, with a focus on those supporting breast cancer and this year, we have decided to raise money for CoppaFeel! a charity which raises awareness of breast cancer amongst young people. CoppaFeel! was founded in 2009 by Kris Hallenga and her twin sister Maren, after Kris was diagnosed with incurable (stage 4 / secondary) breast cancer at the age of 23. Kris sadly died in 2024 and CoppaFeel! are committed to honouring her legacy by continuing to spread their chest checking message.

CoppaFeel! want everyone to have the best possible chance of surviving breast cancer. Ideally we all want to live in a world where all breast cancers are diagnosed at the earliest stage possible, at which treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher. Their work allows them to reach more young people across the UK and encourage them to get to know their bodies.

So how can you help us to help them? The Pink Buddies are organising a fundraising dinner, “Cop a Feast for CoppaFeel!” on 17th October 2025 at the wonderful High Timber, on the North Bank of the Thames. We would love for you to donate!
