I'm taking on my first half marathon since 2019 to raise money for this great charity, CoppaFeel! I'll be running for my amazing friend Jade who fortunately caught and treated her breast cancer early. I'll be running to raise awareness of this disease in young women, because there is no age it doesn't affect.
CoppaFeel! are the UK’s only youth focused breast cancer awareness charity, and we’re on a mission to get every 18-24 year old checking their chest. We 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. We do this because when diagnosed early, breast cancer treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher. Early detection can save lives and a gift to CoppaFeel! can save many.
