Kris Hallenga, founder of the breast cancer awareness charity CoppaFeel!, has died at 38 after a prolonged battle with the disease.

Diagnosed with secondary breast cancer at 23, she worked to educate young women about the disease, leading to early detection for many.

Hallenga's notable campaigns included Check 'Em Tuesday in collaboration with The Sun, which helped demystify breast cancer checks.

The NHS continues to stress the significance of knowing one's own body to spot potential signs of breast cancer early.

CoppaFeel! vows to persist in its mission to promote regular breast self-examinations, upholding Hallenga's impactful legacy.

The family of Kris Hallenga has asked for privacy as they mourn her passing.
