Run Till You're done

Interview with Alice Townend


Listen Later

Today on Run Till You’re Done, we’re honoured to introduce Alice Townend — consultant breast surgeon, devoted runner, and fearless fundraiser. Alice is lacing up for not one, but multiple monumental challenges — all in support of CoppaFeel!, the UK’s only breast cancer awareness charity that empowers young people to check their chests early. With her patients, friends, and especially her late friend Alena—who bravely battled metastatic breast cancer—on her mind and spirit guiding each step, Alice is taking on the Great North Run on 7 September 2025 — dressed in a cheeky “boob suit”! True grit meets a powerful tribute. Alice’s journey isn’t just about miles — it’s about meaning, memory, and making a difference. She’s aiming to raise £500, and every donation helps keep her running—literally and figuratively. You can support her and learn more at her JustGiving page: justgiving.com/page/alice-townend-8 Lace up those shoes—and maybe lend Alice a virtual high-five (or a donation). Let’s run alongside her and together, help keep the message — “know your boobs” — alive and powerful.
