The NNUH breast unit handles breast cancer referrals from GPs across the region. The number of patients it sees each month has almost doubled in the last five years, and a new dedicated breast unit is urgently needed. The Boudicca Appeal will help fund this unit, and will mean:

• Faster diagnosis and treatment
• State-of-the-art equipment and same-day
  diagnostic tests so that patients only need attend the clinic once
• An enhanced environment
• Purpose-built and spacious waiting,
  consultation, counselling and treatment spaces dedicated to breast cancer
  patients
• A better experience for patients
• Less stress and anxiety for patients and their
  families whilst waiting for results, and fewer return visits

Life cannot just be about solving one problem after another - I need to be inspired and challenged so I'm heading out of my comfort zone to see what I’m (still) capable of. 

I set myself 2 challenges to raise funds for the Norfolk and Norwich Boudicca Breast Cancer Appeal:

After running the Brighton Marathon in April 2019, my second challenge is to compete in a trans Pacific yacht race from Phillipines to Seattle in February 2021.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHQpX0MWRcY

I was born in Greenwich, I loved exploring the Cutty Sark as a child and have long had an interest in sailing so I'm now preparing for 5 weeks at sea.

Every crew member is expected to tackle all roles onboard wherever possible. During my training I have met the most amazing group of people from all backgrounds who come from all over the world. We share the common goal of wanting to face the challenges Mother Nature has to throw at us while enjoying her beauty.
