Jane Wright takes on Great Wall of China for CoppaFeel!
Founder of automotive firm The Wright Consultancy Jane Wright will take on the Great Wall of China to raise funds for breast cancer awareness charity CoppaFeel!
She is joining close friend Joanne Elsdon on a demanding five-day trek across five of the Great Wall of China’s toughest sections in September.
The challenge is part of a new fundraising and awareness campaign, ‘Two Friends. One Wall. One Mission,’ launched to coincide with World Cancer Day.
The cause is a deeply personal one, as Elsdon found a lump six weeks before her 50th birthday. Her early self-detection led to a Stage 2 breast cancer diagnosis, but following chemotherapy and radiotherapy she is now cancer-free.
Early detection
Wright said: “Early detection likely saved Jo’s life. That’s why CoppaFeel!’s work matters so much. It gives people the confidence and knowledge to check themselves and to act early, something that still isn’t talked about enough.
“If this encourages even one person to check themselves earlier, or to have a conversation they might otherwise avoid, then it’s doing exactly what we set out to do.”
Wright and Elsdon hope to raise more than £8,000 via their justgiving page.
