BBC Radio Bristol presenter Joe Sims will be travelling across the city as part of health awareness programme

BBC Radio Bristol presenter Joe Sims will travel across Bristol for a health awareness tour, promoting early cancer detection and overall well-being.

BBC Radio Bristol breakfast presenter and Broadchurch star Joe Sims will be travelling across the city for Joe’s Wake-Up Call, a month of live broadcasts from various locations across Bristol.

The tour will not just bring laughs, but also give a chance for Bristolians to stay well and get checked out for serious health conditions.

Joe will hear incredible stories from people living with prostate, breast, and bowel cancer – and talking to former Chelsea and Bristol Rovers footballer, Dave Lee, about a life-threatening blood clot on his heart.

To encourage Bristolians to take simple steps towards a healthier, longer lives, each event will feature expert advice on early cancer detection, heart health, and those body-checks we all tend to put off (or avoid completely).
