September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and while prostate cancer is something every man should be aware of, Black African men face a particularly high risk of developing the disease.

But beyond the statistics, there’s another conversation we need to have: why do men sometimes wait before getting something checked, and what role can the people who love them play in encouraging them to take their health seriously?

Jonathan Muthige knows this conversation personally. He was diagnosed with Stage 3 prostate cancer after noticing a subtle change following a game of golf. It was something that could easily have been dismissed, but his wife Nwabisa encouraged him to have it checked.

Today, Jonathan and Nwabisa are using their experience through the Factor of Ten Foundation to encourage more men to prioritise their health and have these conversations before there is a crisis.
