Kris Hallenga dies aged 38 after she was recognized with breast most cancers

CoppaFeel! founder Kris Hallenga has died aged 38 after she was diagnosed with breast cancer at 23. 

The campaigner, from Cornwall, was first diagnosed in 2009 with incurable secondary breast cancer and given a life expectancy of just two years. 

Rather than succumbing to despair, Kris made a conscious decision to face her illness head-on, determined to seize every opportunity and live life to the full. 

In a statement on X, CoppaFeel! said: ‘We share the sad news that our founder, boob chief, colleague, friend and queen of glittering turds, Kris, has died. 

‘Kris approached life in a creative, fun and fearless way, showing us that it is possible to live life to the full with cancer.’
