Testicular cancer is the #1 cancer in men ages 15-35.

That’s the bad news.

The good news is that it is one of the most treatable and survivable types of cancer. When detected early, 99% percent of guys diagnosed with testicular cancer survive it, and go on to lead normal, active lives.

The best way for men to be proactive is to do a monthly self-exam of their testicles to check for lumps, hardness or swelling. It’s easy to do in the shower.

Testicular cancer survivor Thomas Cantley quit his job, sold his house, and left everything except his dog Vader to travel across the world to promote awareness of testicular cancer - a journey that involves pushing a giant 'testicle' from city to city. That's ballsy!

The entire campaign is funded by the generosity of the people he meets along the way, whether they have a personal connection with cancer or simply believe in his cause. All he asks is for some food, shelter, or gas to get him to the next city, along with your support and promise to be proactive about your health.

"I treat a number of young men on a monthly basis with advanced testicular cancer who require chemotherapy and/or massive surgery. Raising awareness about testicular cancer, getting young men to speak about this issue and get to doctors when necessary is a HUGE step in improving this disease - an initiative Mr. Ballsy has taken with enthusiasm and success."
