Kris Hallenga on life, death and her living funeral
Available for over a year
Kris Hallenga, the founder of breast cancer awareness charity CoppaFeel!, has died at the age of 38. Kris lived in Newquay and was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer in 2009. It was that news that inspired her to offer support to other young people in a similar position. In 2023 she organised a 'living funeral' for her family and friends and she spoke to Tiffany Truscott about it. Photo credit: Joseph Okpako / Contributor/ Getty Images
