Story
Hi, I’m Sam.
When I was 19, I was diagnosed with blood cancer. Thankfully, I kicked its arse. But the treatment that saved my life left me at high risk of developing breast cancer.
That risk consumed me. I spiralled into anxiety and ended up in a really dark place. So, in 2025, I made one of the biggest decisions of my life: I had a risk-reducing double mastectomy - without reconstruction.
I stared down the barrel of a life-changing decision and did what was breast for me (more puns where that came from!).
Now, I want to turn that strength into something powerful and positive for a cause that matters.
So... what’s the triple, no nipple challenge?
In 2026, I’m taking on 3 huge events and going 'Flat out' for Coppafeel!:
London Marathon (26.2 mile run)
Swim Serpentine (2 mile swim on the Thames)
Chase the sun cycle (205 miles from minster-on-sea to Weston-super-Mare)
Not only am I training my non-existent tits off to complete this dragged out triathlon, but I’ll be doing them all topless.
Scars out to the wind, baby!

Why topless?
Because I want to show that people without boobs are still beautiful. Confidence comes from within. That you can own your story, scars and all.
I want to raise money, yes, but more than that, I want to make a statement. A bold one. A visible one. One that challenges shame and celebrates survival.
Who am I fundraising for?
I’m raising money for CoppaFeel! A brilliant charity dedicated to helping young people get to know their bodies and check their chests.
When I had breasts, I didn’t really know how to check myself properly. If I’d known more about CoppaFeel!, maybe the anxiety I felt wouldn’t have hit me so hard for so many years before I chose to have my surgery.
Now, I want to help them reach more young people and hopefully save more lives with early detection of breast cancer.
CoppaFeel! are the UK’s only youth focused breast cancer awareness charity, and we’re on a mission to get every 18-24 year old checking their chest.
We educate people on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and encourage them to check their chests regularly, so that if they notice something unusual they are empowered to contact their GP and advocate for themselves. We do this because when diagnosed early and accurately, breast cancer treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher. Early detection truly can save lives.
