As many of you know, my beautiful friend Kate got breast cancer in her early twenties, which was mega shit.

So, now, 5 years on, we've decided to raise money to help young women like Kate, catch it early. We’ll be running the Royal Parks half marathon to raise funds on October 13th.

CoppaFeel! are the UK’s only youth focused breast cancer awareness charity. Having also lost two university friends (Nath and Leah) to cancer in their twenties, this is emotional for us.

CoppaFeel! 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. They 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.
