Support the Bowelbabe Fund to help continue the legacy of Dame Deborah James

The Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK exists to give more people affected by cancer more time with the people they love. Set up to continue the incredible legacy of Dame Deborah James, who died from bowel cancer in 2022, it funds cutting-edge research into early detection and personalised medicine, raises awareness of signs and symptoms and tackles the stigmas around the disease.

The Fund has now raised over £16m and committed over £12m to pioneering projects Deborah would have been passionate about. And it’s not stopping there.

Support people affected by bowel cancer in style

We've cherry-picked some unique gift ideas from the Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK’s collection. We developed the range with Deborah’s family to bring her spirit of rebellious hope into people’s homes and help raise more money.

Stay hydrated with this insulated water bottle adorned with Deborah's inspiring message: "Find a life worth enjoying, take risks, love deeply, have no regrets and always, always have rebellious hope."

Why not combine it with a matching travel mug that keeps drinks warm for up to 100 minutes unopened? Or a handy reusable tote bag that you can take out and about for your shopping trips and days out?

By spending the cost of a cup of coffee on this range, you’ll be helping the Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK support cutting-edge research and give more people more time with the people they love. And as it’s for Deborah, why not make it a large one.

Cancer is relentless. But so are we. Everything we do, we do it with rebellious hope.
