Story
I'm not a big walker so 24 miles sounds like a big hill to climb! Its 3 actually, the 3 peaks of Yorkshire and I'm dreading it. But its all for a good cause and having been involved with Coppafeel one way or another since 2017 when I get a chance to do something for them I jump at it.
This trip is entirely funded by Sweetsquared, the great company we work for so every penny raised will go directly to the charity rather than having to split it with an events company as is often the case. So dig deep people, every little helps.
Who are CoppaFeel?
CoppaFeel! was founded in 2009 by twin sisters Kris and Maren Hallenga – after Kris was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer at the age of 23. Since then, they’ve grown from a determined duo based in Kris and Maren’s living room to a full team housed at Boob Towers in South London. This lot are obsessed with boobs, but for a very good reason. Follow the link below to find out more about CoppaFeel!’s story - https://coppafeel.org/about-us/our-story-kris-story-about-coppafeel/
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.
