Prostate cancer survivor Mark Nugent from Wallsend hasn't only beaten the disease himself, he's also helped countless others including hillwalking pal Nick Lambert to get themselves checked and get treatment.
Marine insurance expert Mark was just 59 when he was diagnosed in 2018 - after picking up a Prostate Cancer UK leaflet by chance while he was at sea on a job in the Channel. After four years of treatment, radiotherapy has helped to "get rid" of his tumour and tests show he's well on the mend.
However, he's still working hard to help encourage others to get checked if they notice any strange symptoms - and next month with his fellow Tyneside Rambler Nick, he's encouraging everyone to take part in the Prostate Cancer UK charity's March the Month event to raise funds and awareness of the lethal disease.
