A strange topic for a talk! Listen to Glennis as she talks of her personal journey through having had breast cancer and how she founded a local charity that, in its twenty-year history, raised an incredible £3.4 million and made such a significant difference to breast cancer care in Northamptonshire. It really is an inspiring and uplifting story that is honest, often humorous and sometimes sad; but written from the heart. In fact, her story is all written in her recently published book: She’s One Crazy Lady!
Glennis Hooper was born and bred in Kettering and taught in Rushden, Wellingborough and Kettering Primary Schools. She also played tennis and table tennis at county level and loves to be creative. Just three months after having secured her first Headship at Highfields Primary School in Kettering she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Unable to return to teaching, her career was brought to an abrupt end, but Glennis did not sit back. She used her experience and skills to set up a very unique charity that was loved by everyone.
