Deborah James has managed to raise more than £4m through her Bowelbabe fund since being diagnosed with bowel cancer. She is also set to become a Dame.
It comes days after the host of BBC podcast 'You, Me and the Big C', revealed she was receiving end of life care at home. Since first finding out about the illness in 2016, she has worked tirelessly to raise awareness and increase understanding of the condition.
Writing in her blog in early 2017, she described the symptoms that resulted in a discussion with a doctor over the possibility she had the illness. Aged 35 at the time, she was a vegetarian, not overweight and not a smoker, but still was diagnosed with a stage 3 bowel cancer, reports Wales Online.
