Deborah James
Deborah James was a bowel cancer campaigner who died at age 40 in 2022.
It has far exceeded the original target of £250,000.
In a book penned before her death, the cancer campaigner shared what an incurable illness teaches you about life.
She urged people to check their poo – and the nation listened.
Deborah had been a regular guest on Lorraine’s ITV show before her death from bowel cancer last month.
An intimate service was held in west London.
"The person we miss is the deviant, our Deb. The woman who had the most outrageous cackle... and the twinkle in her eye."
“Deborah was an inspirational and unfalteringly brave woman whose legacy will live on.”
“Thank you for everything Deborah. Thank you for being so strong for so long and helping others when you were in so much pain yourself."
The You, Me And The Big C host, also known as Bowel Babe, revealed she was receiving end of life care at home in May, six years after her diagnosis.
