Colin McFarlane joins forces with Prostate Cancer UK


16 06 2023

Batman Begins star Colin McFarlane and the Dope Black Dads online community, spearheaded by Marvyn Harrison, are supporting Prostate Cancer UK, highlighting the fact that Black men are at a higher risk of developing the disease compared to other ethnicities, and dispelling misconceptions about the screening process.

McFarlane, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in December 2022, commented 'Being a Black man over 45 it is so important to know you are at double the risk of getting the disease. 1 in 4 Black men will get prostate cancer at some point in their lifetime and 1 in 8 men. It’s the most common cancer in men and I’m talking about it to raise awareness and save lives'.
