A new Dame Deborah James fundraiser on Instagram tonight (Wednesday, June 29) is asking people to 'buy a drink for Debs'. The bowel cancer campaigner had already raised £6.9 million before her death on Tuesday at the age of 40.
The mum-of-two launched multiple fundraising efforts in May as she moved to her parents' house on hospice care. These included a charity 'rebellious hope' T-shirt, which noted Dame Deborah's own attitude to living with Stage 4 bowel cancer since 2016.
On Wednesday night, the BowelBabeFund account on Instagram posted an 'Add Yours'. This is a trend on the social network which involves sharing a photo to your Instagram Story that matches a caption.
