Deborah James shares plans for her NEXT fundraising venture to help find cancer cure
DAME Deborah James has revealed her next fund raising venture to help find a cure for cancer.
Since being moved to palliative care last month - the Sun writer has raised millions for charitable causes.
The Bowelbabe fund has reached £6.7million - with another £1.1million set to be added on top of that with gift aid donations.
Money from the fund will go towards helping Cancer Research UK, the Royal Marsden and Bowel Cancer UK - in order to support research into 'giving more Deborah's more time'.
Alongside the fund, Deborah has also released a fashion collection with In The Style, alongside her now iconic Rebellious Hope t-shirts.
Posting on today, she shared plans as to how the team were planning on getting to £1million from the sales of the tops.

Posting on Instagram last night, the campaigner thanked everyone for sharing pictures of them wearing the t-shirts.

In a visit to Beaverbrook country estate, Surrey, she said she was feeling grateful to be able to enjoy another moment of sunshine on her face and food that makes her smile.
"Just trying to find the diamond moments in the rough - but when you look hard enough you realise they can still be there," she added.
