Andrew Pong, a Hong Kong-based professional trainer, actor, martial artist and stuntman, wants other men to open up about their health, especially about cancers that affect men.
Pong is the ambassador for the Hong Kong Cancer Fund’s new CheckMate initiative. Built around the slogan, “Don’t hide them, check them”, this campaign centres on encouraging regular self-examinations and medical check-ups for prostate, testicular and penile cancers.
It also provides crucial emotional and support services that aim to normalise conversations about men’s health this Movember.
“It’s actually a strength for men to be more aware of themselves and to ask for help. There’s no shame in that,” says Pong, who has made his health a priority after stepping into his new role.
Though he puts in great effort to maintain his chiselled physique, he admits he rarely considered his reproductive health before this campaign.
