Campaigner and ex-footballer Chris Kamara will run the Great North Run later this year to raise money for prostate cancer research.
Kamara, who played for Leeds United, Sheffield United and Bradford City among other clubs in a 20-year career, will be running the 13.1-mile (21km) course alongside his son Jack and Good Morning Britain host Ben Shephard.
Since retiring from football, Kamara, who also managed Bradford from 1995-98, has been keen to highlight how prostate cancer can particularly affect black men.
According to the NHS, black men are twice as likely to be diagnosed with the disease, with about one in four in the UK expected to develop it over the course of their lives.
Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK, with about 60,000 new cases diagnosed every year, and more than 12,000 deaths annually, according to the NHS.
