A cancer research fund set up by Dame Deborah James has reached an “incredible milestone” after it hit the £20m mark, the Prince of Wales says.
The Bowelbabe Fund, set up in May 2022 shortly before Dame Deborah died of bowel cancer, has reached the milestone in less than four years, having initially aimed to raise £250,000.
In a message on Instagram, Prince William praised the “amazing legacy” of Dame Deborah, from Woking, Surrey, writing: “Deborah is in our thoughts today, as are all those who loved her.”
Dame Deborah’s mother, Heather James, added: “Deborah would be absolutely over the moon if she were here today to see this.”
