Famed psychologist and TV star Nigel Latta is encouraging Kiwis to get behind supporting gut cancer research following his own diagnosis.

Latta was diagnosed with stomach cancer in May 2024, and he's chosen to share his story publicly to help others in similar circumstances.

He's encouraging Kiwis to support Gut Cancer Foundation’s annual GIVE IT UP for Gut Cancer fundraiser - where people give up something tough for the month of March.

"What the foundation is asking people to do is give up something. So that could be sugar, alcohol, coffee, socks... through the month of March to raise funds and resources."
