Deborah James Says She 'Defied Odds' To Attend Ascot

Deborah James attended Royal Ascot on Wednesday, 15 June. She was there with her brother Benjamin James and his new fiancé Ashley Hall.

Deborah James went to Ascot this year. She won three out of the four races she bet on and she made her money back. Deborah was first diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2016. Last month, she moved to hospice at home care. Since then, Deborah has been awarded a damehood and launched a fundraiser that has raised £6.7 million. She has also written a second book, How to Live When You Could Be Dead, which is out in August.
