If you’re lucky, you might see a bit of the world, go on nights out with mates and generally have a whole load of carefree fun. And if you’re less lucky? You get an incurable breast cancer diagnosis. When Kris was diagnosed in 2009, she could never have imagined that this life-altering moment would lead her to a future she never expected: a happy, meaningful one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom founding one of the UK’s best-known breast cancer charities, CoppaFeel!, to campaigning for cancer education in schools, earning widespread recognition and witnessing the birth of her nephew, Kris became a testament to grabbing life whole-heartedly.
