In order to help Coppafeel! raise some crucial funding, Tel and I are going to be part of a 50+ throng of people cycling from Bude to Lands End (yes all 135 miles of it) starting on 5th May over 3 days.  If you recall, we did indeed do this last year....on a tandem...You would have thought we would have learnt our lesson. We partially have (no tandem this year!) but it was such a fantastic event run by some great people that we couldn’t resist those 80% ascent hills for the second year on the bounce. Not to mention cycling and camping in the driving rain and wind and dodging flash floo... ]]>Tue, 08 May 2012 20:46:22 GMTFri, 27 Apr 2012 13:12:44 GMTFri, 11 May 2012 18:49:26 GMT
I'm cycling with a bunch of other nutters 135 miles from Bude to Lands End to help raise awareness of the need for early screening and detection of breast cancer. Help me to do that by donating however much cash you can spare.

We all thank you for your help :) ]]>Wed, 02 May 2012 20:43:19 GMTi am trying to raise money so these guys can keep spreading the word about Breast Cancer.

CoppaFeel was founded by Kris Hallenga, one of the most inspirational women I have ever met. Upon discovering a lump in her boob in 2008 Kris went straight to her GP but she was sent away on the basis of her young age (only 23) that the lump was 'bound to be hormonal'. After eight months Kris demanded to be referred to a specialist and was sadly diagnosed with breast cancer which had spread to her spine, making it stage four, the most advanced type of cancer.

As you can imagine, immediately her life was tipped upside down, however, Kris being the remarkable woman she is channelled her shock and anger into helping and preventing this misdiagnosis happening to others... CoppaFeel was born!

CoppaFeel's mission is to encourage young people everywhere to keep hold of their wonderful, carefree lives by getting to know their boobs ... ]]>Sun, 06 May 2012 15:56:09 GMTSat, 05 May 2012 00:09:21 GMTThu, 10 May 2012 12:38:08 GMTWed, 04 Apr 2012 15:31:29 GMTTue, 08 May 2012 21:11:18 GMT
Not content with running 5 half Marathons and the full London Marathon this year, Laura has decided to cycle 135 gruelling miles along the Cornish coastline from Bude to Lands End on 5th -7th May to raise even more money for breast cancer charity Coppafeel!

Laura already does a great deal for the charity as a Boobette, by helping spread the word that early detection of cancer is vital, and that breast cancer does not just effect women over 50, as it can sometimes be perceived as being. It can affect anyone, even you men out there, so check your Moobs too!

If you would be kind enough to show your support by either donating here or coming out and lining the street along the course to throw money, moral support and oh Jon is doing it as well so throw manure to if you like (only at him though, and preferably with a tenner stuffed inside it!)

Thanks all, I'd better remember how to ride a bike now as it has been years! Yikes

Wish us luckFri, 04 May 2012 10:13:07 GMT
There will be lots of hill, most probably lots of rain, and a whole number of challengers but I'm looking forward to it

This is an event that takes place over 3 days, starting in Bude on 5th May and finishing at Land’s End on Bank holiday 7th May.

Please, please sponsor me!! this is a wonderful, worthwhile charity and lets face it, me cycling 135 miles has got to be a laugh for anyone to watch!! ;-)

Love Ali xx ]]>Tue, 15 May 2012 20:46:27 GMTThu, 03 May 2012 11:23:58 GMT
A massive thanks to all those who sponsored me to run the Bath Half last month. I made it, just.

Never one to shy away from a challenge, I’m now swapping my running shoes for a spangly new bike (the fun bit) and cycling 135 miles across Cornwall (the not so fun bit). With only 4 and a half weeks to go, I still don’t even own a bike!

It’s going to be hilly. It’ll probably rain lots. And I’m particularly looking forward to a bruised bum.

Go on. Please sponsor me if you can and help support the awesome charity that is CoppaFeel!

In particular i chose the Great North Run because i'm currently attending Newcastle Uni.
I've chosen to fundraise for the Coppafeel because i believe that it's a brilliant charity which creates a much-needed awareness for checking our boobs :)

any donations would be much appreciated,
thankyou! ]]>Tue, 15 May 2012 22:34:03 GMTWed, 09 May 2012 13:14:08 GMTAwareness is key!! ]]>Wed, 16 May 2012 20:42:29 GMTSo, if you sympathize with me having to spend next Sunday morning running (well, jogging at least!) 13.1 miles around Wilmslow, please help me to raise some much needed funds for CoppaFeel (and give me the motivation I'll need when I'm seriously flagging!). ]]>Tue, 01 May 2012 17:26:53 GMTWed, 02 May 2012 23:24:43 GMTSun, 06 May 2012 13:26:01 GMTThe aim of the charity is to try and stop the misdiagnosis or late detection of breast cancer in young people, raising awareness of the importance of regularly checking their boobs, and giving them the confidence to seek medical referral if they notice any changes.
So please, dig deep and sponsor for this brilliant cause...and while you're there, why not Coppafeel? After all, knowing your boobs could save your life!

Yes? We love it too. And we want to keep doing what we do for as long as possible whilst continuing to grow and take over the world. We are dedicated to implementing new and innovative ways of making Britain’s check their boobs, but we can’t do it without your generous donations (tea and cake just isn’t enough).

 
Our dream and vision is to live in a world where no one dies of breast cancer because of late detection or misdiagnosis. Currently, over 1 million young people do not check their boobs in the UK (Crazy, no?). This means we need to keep spreading the word. Wherever there are young people, we will run campaigns. You can help fund these campaigns and help us save lives – and we promise you your mates won’t mind if you don’t get the next round in and give us the money instead!
