In a heartwarming turn of events, Dame Deborah James’ brother, Ben, has exchanged vows with his long-term girlfriend, Ashley. The couple’s union comes after a poignant proposal and a bittersweet revelation.
Dame Deborah, a courageous advocate and inspiration to thousands, tragically lost her battle with bowel cancer in June 2022 at the age of 40. Despite her own health struggles, she set up the Bowelbabe research fund and hosted the popular podcast, “You, Me And The Big C.” Her unwavering spirit earned her the prestigious title of Dame, bestowed upon her by Prince William
himself.
Just weeks before her passing, Deborah celebrated her brother Ben’s engagement to Ashley. The joyous news was shared with her followers, even as she acknowledged that she wouldn’t live to witness their wedding day. Ben and Ashley have now taken their vows, and their union is a testament to love, resilience, and the enduring legacy of a brave sister.
As their mother aptly put it, they are “celebrating the pride” that Deborah would have felt on this special occasion. 🌟👰🤵💕
