Story
On 1st March I will be running the Bath Half Marathon for the amazing breast cancer charity CoppaFeel! I entered last year as part of Team Boobs and jumped at the chance to join them again.
I became involved with CoppaFeel! after meeting founder Kris at
the Cosmopolitan Lingerie Show. I had a lump in my breast when I was
younger, although I was extremely lucky it was benign, I really related to her
story. I found out about the Boobettes who go into schools and universities and
raise awareness about breast cancer and wanted to get involved. It’s a charity
with such a positive message and I want to do everything in my power to raise
awareness.
CoppaFeel! was founded in October 2009 by Kristin Hallenga who herself was
misdiagnosed twice with breast cancer at age 23; and now lives with secondary
breast cancer. The charity educates young people on the importance of checking
their boobs regularly and knowing the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
Thank you for your support!
