Back in February we had a call from Andy in Weymouth. He told us about launching his "Don't be an idiot like me" campaign, having ignored routine screening tests for years and how he had now been diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer. Andy Cox, who died on 27th June 2019, wanted to use the time he had left to help improve the take-up of cancer screening tests. Since then, his son, Ellis, called to say he wanted to pay tribute to his father and talk about how he's now taking on his dad's campaign. The family hope to set up a trust in Andy's name and continue to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Trust and Poole and District Children's Cancer Fund. Ellis Cox spoke to Â鶹Éç Radio Solent's Steve Harris.
