Jack Brown: From Testicular Cancer Diagnosis to Ultra Marathon

In this episode of Check One Two, we sit down with Jack Brown, a Loughborough University student and testicular cancer survivor. Diagnosed at just 16 during the Covid-19 lockdown, Jack opens up about the fears, challenges, and resilience that shaped his journey—from discovering a lump and undergoing treatment to balancing school life and recovery.

 

Jack’s story is not just about survival but about giving back. With his father having battled testicular cancer before he was born, Jack’s journey has come full circle as he now raises awareness and funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust. His latest challenge? Running a 120-mile ultra marathon to support the cause and inspire others.

 

Tune in to hear Jack’s candid reflections on early detection, mental resilience, and the power of pushing beyond adversity. His message is clear: cancer does not define you.
