How lovely is this! Prince William gave a message in tribute to Dame Deborah yesterday at the Rebel Ball which is raising funds for the cancer research UK. It would’ve been her 45th birthday.
Part of what he said.
“What struck me was Deborah’s positivity and humor in the face of adversity, what she liked to call ‘rebellious hope’. Fueled by that positive spirit, the Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK has achieved so much over the last four and a half years, as it continued to invest in pioneering research that’s giving more people more time with the ones they love.” People
