After beating breast cancer last year, my kick-ass wife is now trekking the Himalayas to help others do the same. Read her story here!
A University of Sunderland lecturer is preparing to embark on a challenge of a lifetime to raise awareness of breast cancer. Rachel Makin was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2022. As a young mother of a two-year-old she knew the impact of cancer more than many. Rachel lost her mother to the disease when she was a four-year-old and lost her father to cancer when she was only 11. Now, two years on from her diagnosis Rachel has been given the all-clear and in November, she will be trekking across the Indian Himalayas in support of CoppaFeel! to raise awareness of breast cancer among young people.
