Absolutely gutted to hear this today. Kris was a lovely lady who saved countless lives through @CoppaFeelPeople Back in 2014 I brought her to Winchester and she spoke to assemblies at all three secondary schools about boob health. You could have heard a pin drop. RIP Kris
We share the sad news that our founder, boob chief, colleague, friend and queen of glittering turds, Kris, has died. Kris approached life in a creative, fun and fearless way, showing us that it is possible to live life to the full with cancer. Statement at coppafeel.org

Today I’ve joined MPs from across the political spectrum in signing a letter to the Health Minister that calls for a National Brain Tumour Strategy. Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40. But we can change this, together. #ItsANoBrainer
