Yorkshire Cancer Research - Russell's Story, Christmas 2025

This charity appeal film for Yorkshire Cancer Research’s Christmas 2025 campaign tells Russell’s story. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer just before Christmas and, as a man of mixed heritage, his risk was one in four.

What we filmed

For Yorkshire Cancer Research’s Christmas appeal, we filmed Russell alongside his clinicians. Because his cancer was found early, treatment was less intrusive and he was back holding his grandchildren far sooner.

The film links a personal story to the charity’s work on earlier detection, ending on the line that matters most at Christmas: more families spending more Christmases together.
