Sophie supports Dame Debs

THE Countess of Wessex has given a boost to Dame Deborah James’s bowel cancer fund by wearing one of her ‘Rebellious Hope’ T-shirts. The fund has now raised an incredible £6.7 million. I’m delighted to see the Countess of Wessex using her platform to promote this cause. I used to work in bowel surgery and saw first-hand what a devastating disease this can be. Anything that helps to raise awareness gets a big thumbs-up from me.
