Kristen Hallenga had an honorary degree from Nottingham Trent University

Founder of breast cancer awareness charity CoppaFeel! has died after a 15-year battle with cancer. In a statement on Monday, CoppaFeel! said that Kris Hallenga had died at the age of 38.

The statement said: "We share the sad news that our founder, boob chief, colleague, friend and queen of glittering turds, Kris, has died. Kris was the biggest promoter of being ‘alive to do those things’. She approached life in a wildly creative, fun and fearless way, and showed us that it is possible to live life to the full with cancer.

"Kris’ life mission was that CoppaFeel! would no longer need to exist, with late diagnosis of breast cancer eradicated in her lifetime. We are committed to continuing Kris’ legacy, to ensure that everyone has the best chance of living a happy and healthy life. If you’d like to support this mission, you can donate here.
