WATCH: Josh Paschal on the TODAY Show!

Josh Paschal captured the hearts of the BBN last season when he was diagnosed with melanoma on the bottom of his foot. Now, he’s captured the hearts of the millions of viewers who tuned into Monday morning’s Today Show. And, of course, he rocked a UK Football jacket on the air.

Paschal’s story is especially unique, as melanoma is incredibly rare in young African Americans.

“Growing up, and being so young, I never thought of cancer – period. And I am an African American male, so I never thought of skin cancer as a possibility,” Paschal said on the show.
