A former top footballer will now be the patron and ambassador of local charity - Mannin Cancers Support Group.
Mike Summerbee - who famously played for Manchester City in the 60's and 70's has been open about his battle with prostate cancer.
He was diagnosed after taking a routine test at a health event aimed at persuading other men to check themselves out.
He says his recovery has gone very well and now values his family and friends more than ever.
Mike said:-
"I’m just glad to be here and supporting Mannin Cancers and I hope to help them raise improved awareness of prostate cancer - that‘s why I‘m speaking about it. Men need to go to the doctor’s if they have symptoms and ask for the PSA test because prostate cancer really is a hidden killer."
In 2022 alone there have been 268,490 Prostate cancer cases with 34,500 deaths.
