Episode 01: “The Captain”
Being a role model to a teenage boy is never easy, but it’s even harder when you’re facing an aggressive form of cancer. In this first episode of Fathers And Sons, we meet 45-year-old Mr Dominic Manley and his 15-year-old son, Mr Finn Manley, as they attempt to navigate through uncharted waters.
The launch of the episode times with Father And Son Day, a charity initiative in alignment with the Royal Mardsen and dedicated to inspiring men and raising funds and awareness towards tackling male cancer.
