It's On The Ball
Matt's Testicular Cancer Story

Film & Campaign Description

"As much as it's important checking the bike over before you go out for a ride, it's just as important to check yourself" - Why Matt a recent Testicular Cancer patient describes his diagnosis and treatment, and how he is using motor bike racing to encourage young men to check themselves.

It's On The Ball

Operating throughout East Anglia we are a Testicular Cancer charity based in Norwich.

Testicular Cancer is unusual in that it primarily affects younger men (aged 15 – 35), we deliver awareness talks in schools, colleges, youth organisations, and business premises - it’s vital that young men are educated about the symptoms of Testicular Cancer. Self-examination could save their life. To arrange a visit to your school or group then please email [email protected]

We provide patients with support packs during treatment, and offer peer to peer support giving patients and their families the opportunity to talk openly to someone who has been through a similar experience.

Testicular cancer can be successfully treated in over 98% cases, but early detection is essential.
