Me, My Brother and Our Balls; was released this morning on @bbcthree iPlayer and airs Monday 9pm on @bbc one! It was an emotional journey, one I’m proud to do along side my brother. Hope it helps to educate and raise awareness on a stigmatised subject, so many people can look forward to their future positively. For my brother is won’t be like that, and can see from the film, the persistent struggles individuals and couples go through mentally and physically, so the sooner we all start prioritising our health, the higher the chance of happiness. Thanks for supporting and sharing everyone.
