Chris Hughton has revealed he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year.
By sharing his story, he’s helping raise awareness and encouraging people to get checked.
In the UK, 1 in 4 Black men will get prostate cancer, double the risk of other men, and the risk increases from the age of 45.
Wishing Chris all the very best. 🖤
