Why Charlotte is Walking the Night

"Last year, I completed Walk the Night with my dad. As soon as I found out that this 2019 event would be in aid of CoppaFeel! I messaged my dad and we signed up to complete it together again.
One thing that both my dad and I took from completing the walk was how much closer it had bought us and that it was such a special event to complete together.

CoppaFeel! has been a huge part of my life over the past five years, with my journey starting when I joined the Uni Boob Team at Plymouth University. Together with the team leader, I volunteered and helped organise a few events. I then took on the role of team leader in my final year at university. During my time as Team Leader, we raised over £2,000 and a lot of awareness on the university campus.

After I graduated, I applied to be a Boobette and I have not looked back since. I now travel around the South West, educating young people on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and continue to fundraise and participate in events. I was even lucky enough to join CoppaFeel! on their trek to Transylvania last year. Through the charity, I have met some inspiring and awesome people, who have now become good friends!

Walk the Night was an incredible experience and I would encourage as many of you to join, meet new people, hear their stories for participating and be part of something amazing for a charity that has helped educate so many people."

Charlotte, Walk the Night participant, has been a Boobette for CoppaFeel! for five years and has raised thousands of pounds in support of people affected by cancer.
