Have You Been Tested Yet?

Too many of our brothers are leaving it too late. Prostate cancer doesn’t always shout, it whispers and by the time it gets loud, the fight is much harder.

Getting tested early isn’t just about you. It’s about time! More time to laugh with your children, share wisdom with your nephews, hold your partner’s hand or watch your grandchildren grow.

These three men caught it early. Due to the fact that they acted, they gained not just years, but moments, memories that might never have happened otherwise. Their stories are a reminder,. Men you cannot put this off.

Brothas, your health is your power. Do not wait until something feels wrong. Get checked. Get peace of mind.

Brothas, It’s Time To Check In!

"The cultural expectation to “be strong” or “man up” leads to delayed help-seeking and underreporting of symptoms, especially around depression, anxiety, or chronic pain."

During Men’s Health Week (9–15 June) this is a powerful reminder to pause, check in and take your well-being seriously, not just your physical health, but your emotional, mental and spiritual health too.

Let’s be real, Black men are least likely to seek help but most at risk.

In the UK, Black men are three times more likely to develop prostate cancer and twice as likely to suffer a stroke. High blood pressure runs disproportionately high in BAME communities, often without early warning signs. And while the numbers are alarming, the silence is worse.
