CoppaFeel!

1 in 8 women will get breast cancer at some stage in their life. 12,000 women’s lives will be taken by the disease this year, 1,300 of those are under the age of 50.

CoppaFeel! was founded in April 2009 by breast cancer warrior Kristin Hallenga, who at the age of 25 is living with stage 4 breast cancer, following two misdiagnoses.
Kristin set about making it her mission to educate people on the importance of checking their breasts regularly, with specific focus on younger women – an age group often overlooked when educating on this subject.

“I want everyone to know that cancer doesn’t conform to the over forties rule that we try to impose on it. Know your boobs from a young age and make checking them regularly a habit of a lifetime – it could save your life one day.” Kristin Hallenga, Founder and CEO
