A Liverpool man is raising awareness about the risk of prostate cancer that men face, especially Black men who are twice as likely to get the condition.
Mervyn Lynch, 50 read an article last year that stated one in eight men will get prostate cancer. It went on to say among Black men that statistic rises to one in four.
To highlight the issue and help raise funds for research he set himself a target of £500 to raise for charity Prostate Cancer UK by running in the Manchester Marathon in April. He surpassed his target and has raised over £1,100.
