The 38-year-old founded the breast cancer awareness charity after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Ms Hallenga was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer aged 23, having being turned away by her GP multiple times, at which point the cancer was terminal.

"Kris has reached millions of people with her message of health advocacy and empowerment, successfully campaigned for cancer education to be included in the school curriculum," it said in a statement. "For 15 years Kris had been living with secondary breast cancer. She hasn’t lost a battle, she wasn’t in a fight and she certainly wouldn’t want you to see her death as tragic. She was simply living. She was 38 and died with fulfilment and a heart full of love," CoppaFeel wrote.

"I've never felt love like it. I've never felt joy like it. I've never felt such kinship with mortality. I've never felt so alive," she wrote after the event.
