Summary
This is Kris’ story, but instead of being defeated by such devastating news, Kris began working tirelessly to create a movement for change.
We follow Kris’ journey from her own diagnosis through to building Coppafeel!, her incredible charity built for young women by young women as well as putting cancer on the curriculum for the first time.
Kris’ passion, determination and belief that a small group of committed people really can change the world is testament to the remarkable woman that she is.
