As a mother and wife being diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 34 was a huge shock. I went through 12 months of active treatment which resulted in 5 surgeries numerous infections, Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and Sepsis on multiple occasions. It rocked our whole family and now we are setting ourselves a family challenge to bring us back together and help raise awareness for an amazing Charity.

CoppaFeel! are the first UK breast cancer charity to create awareness amongst young people, with the aim to instil a new healthy behaviour that could one day save a life. They are on a mission to ensure breast cancer is diagnosed early and correctly by getting the nation to check their boobs/chest regularly. They want to educate people on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, encourage them to get to know what is normal for them and empower young people to have the confidence to see a doctor if they notice anything that isn't right for them.

Our Challenge

We decided that we wanted the challenge to be over 12 months because i went through 12 months of active treatment so we are aiming to completed at least 325 miles in total made up in the following way:

Anthony - running a half marathon every month starting in September and ending Aug (His 40th :) )

Robert - Running at least 1 mile a month for the year

April and Felicity - will walk and match the distance of a half marathon each month. Unfortunately running is not an option but that doesn't mean we wont be pushing ourselves.

So lets raise so money and support an amazing charity.
