Episode Notes:
CoppaFeel is the first breast cancer charity in the UK to solely create awareness amongst young people, with the aim of instilling the knowledge and tools they need to get to know their bodies. We like to talk about a serious message in a light-hearted way, empowering people to start healthy habits for life.

Meet the Guest of the Episode
Kelly Crump
Kelly was initially diagnosed in 2017 with early-stage breast cancer at age 38 after discovering a lump in her chest. She had no family history of the disease. In 2019, the cancer spread to her neck, lung, armpit, ribs and spine; she is currently on her seventh line of treatment.
To cope, Crump took to social media, where she candidly shares her experience with others and has garnered a large dedicated following.
