She kept up her list on Instagram, where she boasted more than 23,000 followers and touched the hearts of many.

Just days before she died, Morganna checked off one of the items on her list: get married.
She married her long-term boyfriend Willy before her death.
As one of Morganna’s wishes, the couple got married in front of 150 friends and family.
The reception was held in one of the most famous ballrooms in Palmas and included a buffet of Japanese food, along with video and light shows devised by Morganna.
However, the bride was already very weak at this stage and could not speak or participate in the celebrations for a long time.
Immediately after the reception, she returned to Palmas General Hospital (HGP) to continue her intensive treatment.
Hours after announcing her dream of starting a new treatment and begging her followers for financial help, she tragically passed away.
She said: ‘We started a different treatment. The doctors have already given up on us.
“With this new treatment, we will fight to the end. However, it is very expensive. Now we keep asking for help to try until the last moment.’
