A Sheffield woman from Totley is trekking 100 kilometres across the Isle of Skye for CoppaFeel! in memory of her grandma who lost her life to breast cancer.

Hannah Catterall, 23, who lives with chronic back issues, will take on the arduous five day challenge in June in the hope of raising £2500 for the charity.

She said: “CoppaFeel! is the only charity in the UK that focuses on young people, which I believe is very important as I know someone my age has been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer.

“A lot of women in my family have breast cancer. My mum, my sister and I are very susceptible to getting it.”

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK and second in the world. In the UK, 1 in 7 women and 1 in 400 men are diagnosed with the cancer.

Coleen Catterall, Hannah’s mother, said: “I cannot be any prouder for her.

“She is a wonderful young woman who has developed such deep feelings about things and she is going to make the world a better place.”

Hannah is training to prepare herself for the challenge with yoga and walks, building her stamina and endurance.

Last Saturday, she set up a bake sale in a mental health support centre in Totley, Unravel, to further raise money and awareness for her challenge.

Her bake sale alone raised £400, bringing her closer to her fundraising goal, and one step closer to making a difference.

To help her with the fundraising, Hannah has been promoting her training on her Instagram account.
