The father of top England footballer Jordan Henderson has again urged people around the North East to get checked for cancer as soon as they worry something might be wrong as part of the NHS's "help us help you" campaign.
Brian Henderson, who had a cancer diagnosis in 2013, local charity founder and chef Ryan Riley - who lost his mum to cancer - and retired footballer Maurice Hepworth, who has prostate cancer, have all backed an NHS campaign encouraging people to get any worrying symptoms checked as soon as possible.
Speaking from a specially-designed double-decker bus which is travelling around the country as part of the campaign and following World Cancer Day on February 4, the trio joined leading cancer nurse Melanie Robertson - from the South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Trust - to urge people to head for a GP if they developed any unusual symptoms.
