Kris Hallenga, the inspirational founder of breast cancer charity CoppaFeel!, has sadly passed away at the age of 38 after bravely battling the illness for 15 years.
Kris was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer at the young age of 23, and instead of letting the disease defeat her, she chose to use her experience to raise awareness and educate others about the importance of early detection. In 2009, she founded CoppaFeel! with her twin sister Maren, with the mission of encouraging young people to regularly check their breasts for any signs of cancer.
Under Kris’s leadership, CoppaFeel! became a leading voice in the fight against breast cancer, spreading the message that early detection saves lives. Her tireless efforts to raise awareness through campaigns, events, and social media have undoubtedly helped countless people detect the disease at an early stage and seek necessary treatment.
Kris’s positive attitude, resilience, and determination in the face of adversity have inspired many, and she leaves behind a lasting legacy of hope and empowerment. Despite her own struggles, she remained dedicated to helping others and advocating for better access to screening and treatment for young people affected by breast cancer.
The news of Kris’s passing has deeply saddened the breast cancer community and all those who had the privilege of knowing her. Tributes have poured in from supporters, colleagues, and friends, praising her courage, strength, and unwavering commitment to making a difference in the fight against breast cancer.
Although Kris may no longer be with us, her legacy will continue to live on through CoppaFeel! and the countless lives she has touched with her message of early detection and empowerment. Her impact on the world of breast cancer awareness and advocacy will be felt for years to come, as her spirit and passion for helping others will forever be remembered.
Our thoughts and condolences go out to Kris’s family, friends, and the entire CoppaFeel! community during this difficult time. May her memory be a blessing and a source of inspiration for all those who continue the important work of raising awareness and fighting against breast cancer. Kris Hallenga may be gone, but her legacy will never be forgotten.
