In recent weeks, Dame Deborah James has touched the hearts of many as she has publicly shared plans for her final living days, after being diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2016.
Through her BBC podcast 'You, me and the big C', the campaigner and teacher shone a light on the disease as she spoke candidly about her experience.
Even though Dame Deborah is losing her battle, she continues to be a shining example, as her BowelBabe fundraiser has raised an amazing £6m - smashing her initial £250,000 target - to find a cure for bowel cancer.
