Deborah James said she was ‘absolutely mind blown’ after thousands of people donated more than £1.5 million to a cancer research fund in her honour.
The podcaster, who hosts the BBC show You, Me and the Big C, took to Instagram on Monday to reveal the heartbreaking news that she was receiving palliative care at home, after doctors told her treatment for her terminal cancer was no longer working.
Deborah, 40, set up the Bowelbabe Fund to raise vital cash for life-saving cancer research, and asked her followers to donate the price of a drink to the Just Giving page as her one final wish.
