Former BBC presenter Deborah James has announced she is receiving end-of-life care and that it is time to say goodbye. In the last stages of her life Deborah has set up the fundraiser BowelBabe which has now raised a staggering £3.6 million for bowel cancer and been made a Dame, as The Mirror reports.
Deborah has now been awarded a Damehood for her work and revealed her reaction, she said: “OMFG, this is crazy. I don’t know what to say. I’m blown away and feel incredibly honoured. I don’t feel like I deserve this. I can’t tell you what this means to my family, it’s so much to take in.”
Since hitting £3.6 million Deborah is now determined to reach a target of £5 million. She said "It’s surpassed all expectations. I’d love to get it to £5million by the end of the weekend."
