This year marks a decade since Dame Deborah James was diagnosed with stage four Bowel Cancer at 35. In the six years that followed, right up until her untimely death aged 40, the journalist and podcaster campaigned tirelessly for awareness.
She was a vital part of Lorraine’s No Butts campaign and a month before her passing she established the Bowelbabe Fund with a goal of reaching £250,000 to go towards cutting-edge research, early detection and life-saving treatment.
