Story

Hi everyone! I'm Hannah, a 30 year old nurse and proud mum to my baby boy. Last year, just months after giving birth, I was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 29. Since then, It's been a whirlwind of 16 chemotherapy sessions, surgery, and i am now just about to start radiotherapy. My active cancer journey is almost over, and it's time to give back.

 Iv become incredibly passionate about raising awareness of breast cancer and this November myself and my fellow breastie Helen have the honour of joining the CoppaFeel charity trek to the Himalayas. 

I am thrilled to be supporting CoppaFeel on their mission to stomp out late diagnosis of breast cancer, especially in young people. Their important work is spreading vital information and reminders to check your chests and to get to know your normal. That's why I'm embarking on a physically demanding trek, where I will not only be trekking up to 9 hours a day through tricky terrain and camping in the great outdoors with very basic facilities, but also bonding with others who have similar stories - all in the name of awareness. Early detection of breast cancer saved my life, and I am committed to shouting from the mountaintops about it. 

I’d like to raise as much money as possible and would be truly grateful for any support that you can offer to this incredible organization. Your donations will not only help me reach my fundraising target but will go a long way in making a difference by raise awareness, funds, and hope for a brighter future! 

Also Check out my team mate Helen’s story, You can find the link to her fundraising page on our team page "Han&Hels hike the Himalayas" and donate to her too. Every contribution helps us get closer to our goal. And if you'd like to follow our journey, you can do so on Instagram @_breastoffriends 🏔️
