The Robin Cancer Trust

Sep 7, 2026

Toby Freeman took on 100km before his nomination as a finalist at the BBC Make A Difference Awards.

Last weekend, our CEO and Founder Toby Freeman took on his biggest, balliest challenge ever! 🍒  👀


100km  ➡️  2,000m elevation ➡️ 24 hours - the Ultra Challenge® South Coast Challenge  🙌 


After completing this epic challenge dressed as a pair of testicles, Toby was nominated as a finalist for the BBC Make a Difference Awards, in recognition of the campaign and his fundraising efforts.

This is Toby's final run (for now!) before he hands his signature testicles costume to Andy, an inspiring runner and testicular cancer survivor. Andy will be wearing the balls as he completes the London Marathon 2027 in aid of The Robin Cancer Trust.


On completing his challenge, Toby said:


'Every mile, every hour, all the pain, blood, sweat and tears have been in memory of my brother Rob, who we lost to testicular cancer when he was just 24 💔 I've pushed myself further than ever - because he never got the chance to.'
