Story
Thank you for being here...
In November 2024, I will be embarking on the CoppaTrek! with Gi - Himalayas, a challenging journey through the Indian Himalayas in aid of CoppaFeel, a charity dedicated to raising awareness of breast cancer. This trek holds such a special significance for me as it symbolises my resilience and determination to overcome my darkest days of battling breast cancer. The support of my friends and family has been my guiding light through chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, and ongoing hormone therapy. Their unwavering presence has given me the strength to face this adversity head-on.
As part of my fundraising, I have called upon these amazing friends and family, to help me reach my wider target and trek 13 miles with me across our local hills. On 6th July, we will be trekking from Cleeve Hill to Leckhampton Hill. Walkers are frequently surprised to find out that the height gain over the whole route is equal to three times the height of Snowdon! So it's no easy feat!
This journey is not just about conquering physical heights; it's about elevating awareness and early detection of breast cancer. My own experience supports the critical importance of early diagnosis - it saved my life. By raising funds for CoppaFeel, we aim to empower others to recognise the signs and symptoms, encouraging them to prioritise their health and seek timely medical attention.
We invite you to join us in this incredible cause by supporting our fundraising efforts. Together, let's make a difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer. Your contribution will help us reach our target amount of £300 and enable CoppaFeel to continue their vital work in promoting early detection and saving lives.
This is my second chance at life. I am living, thriving, and so fortunate to create more lasting memories with my children and my family. There are too many beautiful souls being diagnosed too late and lost to this brutal disease.
