In November I'm going to trek 100km over the Sahara desert for a charity dear to my heart. My mum was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in January 2022 which as you can imagine devastated us all. I'm walking this walk for my mum, grandma, uncle and all the people in my family who's lives have been stolen by the big C. By doing so I hope to raise much needed money to fund awareness and resources to the wonderful charity Coppafeel.

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.
