Kris Hallenga, the founder of breast cancer charity CoppaFeel!, has died aged 38. She was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 23 and lived with the illness for 15 years, tirelessly campaigning for breast cancer awareness in that time. A statement on the charity's website said: 'She hasn't lost a battle, she wasn't in a fight and she certainly wouldn't want you to see her death as tragic. 'She was simply living.
' Last year Ms Hallenga threw a living funeral, where guests were invited to sign a cardboard replica of her coffin and childhood footage was projected around Truro Cathedral in Cornwall. Dawn French did the eulogy in character as the Vicar of Dibley, while Ms Hallenga gave a speech and sparkled in a glittery jumpsuit. Afterwards, she posted on Instagram: 'I've never felt love like it. I've never felt joy like it. I've never felt such kinship with mortality.
