Welcome to my fundraising page for CoppaFeel!
This November, I will set out on a challenging, extraordinary and life-changing trek, all in the name of checking chests! Along with Gi Fletcher and some other famous faces, I will embark on a 5 day trek in the Indian Himalayas, in a bid to raise funds towards CoppaFeel's life-saving mission.
Your donations will not only support my fundraising target, but most importantly CoppaFeel!. They are on a mission to stamp out the late diagnosis of breast cancer by making sure that young people are regularly checking their boobs, pecs and chests and getting to know their bodies in order to have the confidence to see their GP if something just doesn't feel normal.
The reason I have chosen to take on this challenge is because I am a carrier of the mutated BRCA2 gene, this gene significantly increases my risk of getting breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Because of this risk, In July 2023 started my journey of preventative surgery and I had a bilateral mastectomy to lower my risk of breast cancer. I feel very lucky to have been able to have this done. Breast cancer has affected my family and the family’s of my close friends heavily and I want to support this amazing charity to prevent that moving forward! Check out my insta blog @brca.2.life for more info on me!
