East Midlands family backs hereditary health campaign

A father and son from the East Midlands are supporting the BBC Radio Derby 'It Starts with You' campaign to encourage families to talk about the risks of hereditary health conditions.

Harjit Singh Nijjar and his eldest son William from Market Harborough discovered that they have an inherited genetic condition, Lynch Syndrome, which increases a person's risk of developing certain types of cancer.

BBC Radio Derby's Becky Measures has been to meet them.
