Madeleine and Nicola fundraising for Coppafeel

Written by Sophie Hitchens Monday 14th July 2025

 

CoppaTrek! challenge

June, last year Madeleine completed a 5 day trek walking  100 kms in the Brecon Beacons for CoppaFeel and raised over 2K and she is now off again with her friend and colleague Nicola!

On Saturday 13th September 2025, Madeleine and Nicola will be taking part in a marathon walk of 42.2 km in the Cotswolds, all in aid of CoppaFeel! a breast cancer awareness charity. The walk starts and finishes in the village of Northleach. They will be setting off very early on the Saturday morning with a long day of walking (around 10-12 hours) with sustained periods of ascents and descents.

 

Madeleine – I loved my initial challenge and met some amazing friends who I’ve stayed in touch with. I could see how valuable the charity was and the importance of bringing everyone together to share support, knowledge and awareness. When the opportunity came round to take part in another trek with the charity I quickly signed up. This time joined by my friend and colleague Nicola!  We are very excited to take on this new challenge together!

Nicola – I’m super excited to be joining Madeleine on this marathon walk in September. It will be a great challenge for both of us, whilst helping raise funds for a charity both close to our hearts. We have both had family members experience breast cancer so this charity is very important to us.

By taking part in the marathon walk, we hope to help spread awareness of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer. The charity are on a mission to stamp out the late diagnosis of breast cancer by making sure that 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 doesn’t feel quite right.

We have a joint target of £500 to raise for the charity, and would really appreciate any donations big or small.

Thank you all so much for reading, your support really means a lot to us! 💕
