Support the fight against Testicular Cancer
Tax deductible
We are raising funds to assist with Testicular Cancer Awareness, Research, and Education. Testicular cancer is the leading cancer in men ages 15 to 44 but can strike at any age. In this age group, more men will die of testicular cancer than women of breast cancer. In fact, every hour a male is diagnosed with testicular cancer - approximately 9,720 new cases will arise in 2025 in the United States. The average age of a male diagnosed with testicular cancer is 33 years old and approximately 600 deaths will occur in 2025. 1 out of every 250 males will develop testicular cancer in their lifetime. HOWEVER, if detected early, testicular cancer is over 95% curable. This is where the education and awareness come in.
The Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation strives to encourage early detection through the practice of monthly self-exams and to remove the stigma and taboo associated with testicular cancer. Their mission is to help educate the public about testicular cancer, treatments, financial assistance, social support, survivorship and fundraising opportunities through their many programs.
As of October 2024, I am a survivor of Testicular Cancer.
