Andy Watson - January 2026
Colin Graham works as a fisherman in North Fields, England. Working long hours it can be hard to stay on top of medical tests. One day in 2024, bad weather forced him to stay on land where The Fisherman's Mission was set up providing cancer screenings for active and former fishermen and sea-going staff. He was diagnosed with stage four melanoma.
"In our job you need to be pushed into these things as we only think about work, get out when the sun comes up and back when the sun comes in. Having the team down at the quay has certainly helped people here, we're more aware of it"
Graham had a successful surgery and is now cancer free.
