A Co Monaghan man is reminding local men of the importance of knowing the symptoms of being cancer aware.
Martin Maguire said with men's health week underway, it's an important time to highlight the need for men to be more mindful of their health at any age.
Crocus along with the Marie Keating Foundation are hosting an initiative to highlight men's health at Graham's of Monaghan today.
Martin says information is key when it comes to health issues and it can be crucial to aware and have the information.
The local man said when it comes to Crocus, more people are finding out about what services that the local charity offers and in turn awareness of cancer is building in the region.
Martin said events like today in Monaghan help lift the stigma surrounding cancer.
Meanwhile, Alistair Graham of Graham's of Monaghan says people and businesses in a community play a major role in letting people who may be ill, that they are not alone.
