00:00 Because you did the trek, didn't you?
00:02 Yeah, I did the Pembrokeshire trek and it was on that trek I was...
00:05 I was there and I was speaking to the most wonderful trekkers.
00:08 I realised I'm here advertising, you know, raising awareness
00:12 to check yourselves and I don't even check myself.
00:14 Right. So from that trek, I started to check myself

00:20 And so if it wasn't for Copperfield, if it wasn't for Chris,
00:24 I probably wouldn't be sat here right now.
00:25 Gosh, that's astonishing, isn't it?
00:27 And she had this, I mean, Copperfield, the sense of humour.
00:30 Yes. You know, the cheekiness.
00:32 I mean, you love that, don't we? I mean, that really...
00:35 You talk about her and you smile. You can't help it.
00:37 Yeah, I think she was always so positive, wasn't she?
00:39 She always said she wasn't on a battle, she wasn't on a fight. Yes.
00:43 And I think all that she did to raise awareness,
00:45 like Debra, you know, Balbe,
00:47 I think it's what inspired me as well to speak out.
00:51 And, yeah, and, you know, the message, you know,
00:53 you know your own body and if something's not right,
00:55 go to the GP.
