S3 EP6 Dot Dot Dot with Kris Hallenga - Founder of "CoppaFeel" cancer charity

<p>Kris has a chat with Gav that reveals an inspirational &amp; moving story about one young woman's unbelievable bravery in a fight against cancer and the low awareness of breast cancer amongst young people.</p> <p>Kris is a remarkable woman. She was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer at aged&nbsp;23. This diagnosis came as a real shock to her, as she had no idea that women of her age could get breast cancer. What came as a bigger shock was the realisation that she had been diagnosed late and if she had known what to look for herself&nbsp;then this very aggressive cancer could have been caught earlier.</p> <p>So Kris started fighting the cancer and fighting the lack of knowledge that young people have about how to spot the early signs of breast cancer. She started a charity 'CoppaFeel' to educate and encourage men and women to know the signs of breast cancer and to check themselves&nbsp;regularly. "CoppaFeel' has grown into a huge national movement and has been extremely successful in its mission, undoubtedly saving thousands of lives. Kris has won a Pride of Britain award and a Woman of the Year award, though 12 years later, she is still fighting her own cancer. She had 57 brain tumours treated in 2018.</p> <p>Please have a listen and please do leave a review, rating and subscribe.
