George Doherty is the FCN / Macmillan Programme Officer (Northern Ireland) working on the Rural Communities Cancer Project – a UK-wide partnership between FCN and Macmillan Cancer Support. George’s wife, Tracey, is an FCN volunteer helping to support on the Project. In this clip George shares his lived experience with cancer, and talks about the #NipItInTheBud campaign – which is helping to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer in our farming and rural communities.
George said: “I am a living example of how important it is to go and get diagnosed at an early stage.”
