Welcome to another episode of That Cancer Conversation!

In this special episode, we’re celebrating the Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK. The fund was set up by Dame Deborah James, also known as ‘Bowelbabe’, and her family in the last few weeks of her life.

For this special episode of the podcast, Michelle Mitchell, Cancer Research UK’s chief executive, interviews four of Deborah’s family and friends.

From left to right, Michelle Mitchell sitting in a chair followed by Emma Campbell, Steve Bland, Sarah Wieczorek and Ben James sitting on a couch in front of microphones in the podcast studio — Left to right: Michelle Mitchell, Emma Campbell, Steve Bland, Sarah Wieczorek and Ben James.

We have Ben James, Deborah’s brother and Sarah Wieczorek, Deborah’s sister. Emma Campbell, author, speaker and podcast host who received treatment alongside Deborah and was a firm friend. And Steve Bland an award-winning podcast producer and presenter. He joined the host line-up of the hugely popular You, Me and the Big C podcast alongside Deborah after his first wife Rachael passed away from breast cancer in 2018.

Michelle sits down with Ben, Sarah, Emma and Steve to talk about their memories of Deborah and discuss the Bowelbabe Fund as they prepare to take on this year’s London Marathon as ‘Team Bowelbabe’.
