Uniquely Kentucky with Amber Philpott | Ep. 16 Joshua Paschal, University of Kentucky Football Defensive Lineman

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. 

Every year there are more than five million cases of skin cancer diagnosed.

Last July at the age of just 20-years-old University of Kentucky football player Joshua Paschal found out he had melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer.  

Paschal attributes football with helping him find the cancer and he says the support of his family and team helped him along his journey.

Paschal has just a few treatments left and is now turning his attention to using his story to advocate for awareness about a disease he was unfamiliar with until he heard the words you have cancer.
