I'M RUNNING 500km
DRESSED AS A
GIANT BALLBAG
TO SAVE LIVES!
Testicular Cancer took my brother,
now I'm taking on marathons, ultramarathons, and Hadrian's Wall in a giant testicle costume to raise £240,000 and save lives with The Robin Cancer Trust.
Join me as I explain the story behind my colossal challenge, as I'm running in memory of my brother.
Check the route and show your support as I pass through your area!
watch these
balls go!
MY WHY: THE MISSION
TO SAVE LIVES
I founded The Robin Cancer Trust in 2012 after I lost my brother, Robin, to testicular cancer - aged just 24.
Our hope has always been to prevent another family from going through what we did - so I have dedicated my life to reaching as many young people as possible with our life-saving cancer awareness, education, and support services.
Every year 2,400 men are diagnosed with testicular cancer in the UK - but it’s 95% curable if caught early.
I am on a mission to get the UK #TalkingBollocks with my BIG BALLSY CHALLENGE - an award winning campaign raising vital funds and awareness that will ultimately save lives.
But I need your help.
"BECAUSE NO-ONE SHOULD HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE TO THEIR BROTHER AT JUST 24"
