Deborah James mum Heather paid heart-breaking tribute to her daughter
Dame Deborah James' mum has shared a heartbreaking tribute to her late daughter who passed away aged 40 from bowel cancer.
Deborah moved in with her parents to receive her end of life care in her final months, and her mum Heather, also known as BowelGran online, shared a sweet tribute to her daughter. "My heart is broken. Love you forever," she wrote alongside a carousel of snaps. "Deborah shared her experience with the world to raise awareness, break down barriers, challenge taboos and change the conversation around cancer. Even in her most challenging moments, her determination to raise money and awareness was inspiring. "We thank you for giving us time in private as a family, and we look forward to continuing Deborah’s legacy long into the future through the @bowelbabefund. Thank you for playing your part in her journey, you are all incredible.
The former deputy headteacher was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2016 and subsequently kept her nearly one million Instagram followers up to date with her treatments. Her candid posts about her progress and diagnosis, including videos of her dancing her way through treatment, won praise from the public and media alike. Alongside Lauren Mahon and Rachael Bland, she launched the You, Me And The Big C podcast in 2018.
