Worcester man's life saving legacy

Available for over a year

It was a Worcestershire man's dying wish - to help save lives, long after he was gone. Mike Hull's vision has come true - with his widow saying it "means the world" to the family, to know he's made a difference. Mike - who was from Droitwich - died of skin cancer in March last year, aged 67. In the last few months of his life he made it his mission to raise enough cash for a special mole-mapping machine, to help other Melanoma patients. The machine uses advanced, high-resolution digital technology to create a 'map' of the body from head to toe, which allows you to assess all moles, and to track any changes over time. It joins only a small handful of mole-mapping machines that are available on the NHS, in the country. It was unveiled at Solihull Hospital, at a special launch event - our reporter Tom Edwards went along.
