Dame Deborah James valiantly gave her all to raise awareness of bowel cancer, which causes 16,500 deaths a year in the UK.

TV personality and podcaster Deborah, who died of the disease last year at just 40, campaigned to change that – and today Louise Lazell hears the moving stories of other young bowel cancer sufferers echoing brave Deborah’s message to us all.
