Story
Hi 👋🏼 my name's Lucy,
Thank you for visiting 'Team Trek Ya Chest!’s' fundraising page. The team is ever growing but for now is made up of the following, amazing, and very supportive group of people I get to call my friends:
Gui, Tash, Emma, Jules, Mad and Catherine. With Steve in the support car! (Georgie, Tiff, Val, Lou, Lauren, Sinead, you will be missed and you are there in spirit!)
They will be completing the Surrey Three Peaks Challenge with me on 20th October in order to fundraise for CoppaFeel!
In January 2021 at the age of 36, I was diagnosed with a stage 3, aggressive form of breast cancer and this was only three months after my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroendocrine bowel cancer…. but nearly four years on from what as an extremely challenging time for us and our young family, we are both currently doing really well and getting on with living, and loving life!
For me, this is saying YES to more things! This November, I will be donning my walking boots and trekking the Indian Himalayas all in name of boob-checking, cancer-preventing and life-living! 🙌
The Surrey Three Peaks Challenge
As part of my fundraising efforts, the wonderful Team Trek Ya Chest! and I will be attempting to walk a 35.2km loop in one day, taking in the three highest peaks in Surrey - Boxhill, Holmbury Hill, and Leith Hill.
This will be a very challenging walk:
🚶🏽♀️35 hilly kilometres to cover in one day
🌄 with a 1,285m elevation gain
⛰️3 - peaked circular route
It will require training, determination and time but we will be rewarded by beautiful views, great company and a real sense of achievement.
By supporting Team Trek Ya Chest!, your donations will not only go towards 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.
As the late, great co-founder of CoppaFeel! Kris Hallenga said, we are 'alive to do those things' - thank you to Kris for giving me the opportunity to do these things - I think they will be pretty epic.
Thank you for your support - Lucy and Team Trek Ya Chest! x 🍉🍉
