Kris was diagnosed with breast cancer disease before 15 years ago. Since then, she made it her mission to increase awareness of the significance of young women checking their breasts for early symptoms of cancer.

She was 23-years-old when she received the diagnosis of stage 4 cancer that had progressed to her spine. After that, she founded the breast cancer awareness organization CoppaFeel! in 2009. It aims to provide awareness to young women under 30 years for checking their breasts.

CoppaFeel! rose to prominence as one the top organizations raising awareness of cancer, educating and motivating millions of young women to check their breasts. It also portrayed an awareness message to the UK House of Parliament, showing the picture of the first nipple in a billboard advertisement.

Kris said her motivation for CoppaFeel! was from confused feelings upon receiving her diagnosis in a 2021 interview with the Guardian. She also kept telling herself, this is bullshit. Why did no one advise her to examine her breasts? Why was she unaware that she could develop breast cancer at 23?

Moreover, she said she had a good feeling that none of her friends do either, and if that’s the case, then not a single young person in this nation is aware of this secret. Something had to change in this situation. She felt an outburst of energy, after which she founded CoppaFeel!

Hence, netizens are mourning that charity founder Kris Hallenga died after a long battle with cancer. They are paying tribute to her meaningful efforts to save young women from the evil disease of breast cancer.
