Every kilometre you complete helps spark coversations, break down stigma and encourage more men to check themselves regularly. Every kilometre fuels the race against testicular cancer.
This is a Partner race
We're proud to be working with The Robin Cancer Trust, with support from Kendal Mint Co, to bring you this unique virtual challenge. Together, we're encouraging participants to help raise awareness of testicular cancer which affedrs 2,400 men in the UK every year.
Event Overview:
November is Men's Health Awareness Month making it the perfect time to challenge yourself for a cause that can help save lives. We've partnered with The Robin Cancer Trust to raise awareness of testicular cancer, to get people talking, smash the stigma surrounding men's health and encourage more men to check themselves regularly.
Whether you run 10K, 50K or 100K, every participant helps spread awareness and starts conversations that could save someone's live.
Our goal is to raise £240,000, that’s £100 for every man diagnosed with testicular cancer in the UK each year.
Fundraising is completely optional, but every pound raised helps The Robin Cancer Trust deliver life-saving awareness talks, educate young people about the signs and symptoms of testicular cancer, and provide vital support for those affected by testicular cancer, ovarian and germ cell cancers.
Testicular cancer is over 95% curable when caught early so by taking part, you're helping more men recognise the signs, check themselves regularly and seek help sooner.
If you'd like to go the extra mile, you can set up an optional JustGiving page and help us reach even more people.
Take on the challenge. Earn your balls. Save lives.
