Why it matters

Every community, workplace and home will be impacted by breast cancer in some capacity. We’re here to fuel the fight against it, build knowledge and empower people everywhere.

Breast cancer can affect anyone; women and men, of any age, ethnicity or lifestyle. Help us raise awareness of symptoms and support each other by trekking the Titty Trail together!

Symptoms of
breast cancer

We celebrate breasts of all shapes and sizes, every breast is unique. But there is a list of common symptoms that everyone should be aware of and consistently checking in on.

Thick Area

If a part of the breast is less squishy and more dense.

Dimple

A dimple or indentation anywhere on the breast.

Nipple Crust

A scab-like red or white crust that is sore and doesn’t go.

Red or Hot

A swelling or redness that may cause a burning sensation.

New Fluid

If the fluid is clear or contains blood, it should be checked.

Skin Sores

If the skin is broken down to form an open wound.

Bump

Bumps can be normal, but not if they suddenly emerge.

Growing Vein

If veins become more pronounced on the breast.

Sunken Nipple

Retracted, sinking, flattening or turning nipples.

New Shape/Size

If one breast changes size, flattens, swells or droops.

“Orange Peel” Skin

Swelling that creates many dimples like the skin of an orange.

Hard Lump

The most common symptom is a usually immovable hard lump.

How the Titty Trail began…

The Titty Trail has two goals – to raise awareness of breast cancer and boost funds to support people living with cancer. Through your tit-tastic trekking, we can collectively raise thousands of pounds for people affected by cancer. Titty Trail Shropshire was launched in 2023 by Lingen Davies Cancer Fund, and the first event raised over £20,000 to support cancer services in Shropshire, Telford and Mid Wales. Breast Cancer is the UK’s most common cancer and affects everyone, both men and women.

We wanted to highlight the importance of being breast-aware by getting the community together for a fun, enjoyable, relaxing hike in the beautiful South Shropshire hills. We aim to reduce stigma and encourage people to discuss signs and symptoms and attend their breast screenings. Titty Trail is an accessible, empowering event, not just for those living with cancer, but also for their friends, family and community to take part in together.

Titty Trail Shropshire is back for a second year on 12th October 2024, and the event is now available for other charities to book in their own local area for 2025 and beyond. We provide event logistics, signage, t-shirts and medals; all you have to do is get people involved! Titty Trail is organised along with delivery partner Sky Blue Adventures.
