A young Doncaster mum battling breast cancer is to take on a gruelling charity trek along the world famous Great Wall of China.

Annie Renhard, 29, will take on the five day challenge at the world famous landmark later this year – and is seeking sponsors for breast cancer charity CoppaFeel.

She said: “This September I will set out on a challenging, extraordinary and life-changing trek - all in the name of checking chests!

"I will embark on a life changing trek across five days in the Great Wall of China, in a bid to raise funds towards CoppaFeel's life-saving mission.

“After being diagnosed with breast cancer at just 28 years old last year, I know first hand how vital early detection truly is.

"That’s why spreading CoppaFeel!’s powerful message about regularly checking our chests means so much to me, it really can save lives.

"By supporting CoppaFeel! I’m helping to spread awareness and empower people to know their bodies, check their chests and take action early.

“Your donations will not only support my fundraising target, but most importantly CoppaFeel.

"They are on a mission to stamp out the late diagnosis of breast cancer by making sure that young 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 just doesn't feel normal.”

Annie is looking to raise £4,000 in sponsorship pledges to get her there.

She is still undergoing treatement and is due to undergo surgery in April.

Annie, who is from Hatfield, has set up a fundraising page which you can donate to at https://tinyurl.com/462zxzyd.

She is also documenting her journey with cancer and will be sharing more details about the build up to the trek on a dedicated TikTok channel.
