Deborah James talks running, cancer and why medals matter

Deborah James was 35 when she found out that she had stage 4 bowel cancer. She’s gone on to write and talk about the need for people to be more aware of the symptoms of bowel cancer, and is one of the hosts of the award-winning podcast You, Me and the Big C. Alongside this, Deborah is a keen runner and is signed up for the Vitality London 10K at the end of May. We all huddled around computers to talk virtually about running, cancer, love, marathons and why every medal matters.
