Glittering a Turd: Finding Joy (When it's All Gone Tits Up)

*An updated edition for 2026* What happens at twenty-three? 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. From founding one of the UK’s best-known breast cancer charities 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. She claimed her voice and used it unapologetically to change the world, uncovering her purpose along the way. Honest, moving, and laced with her signature humour, Glittering a Turd is a guide to living well, and a lasting legacy to Kris’s life. It sheds new light on terminal illness, showing that life can still be lived to the full, and that we can all learn to glitter our own turds.
