Iceland Trek 2018

We are thrilled to announce that the hugely popular Iceland Lava Trek is returning on the 11th – 15th July 2018!

With its striking mix of wild volcanic landscape dotted with steaming lava fields, icecaps, glaciers, waterfalls and geysers, the stunning Icelandic landscape is one our trekkers will never forget.
People of all ages and from all walks of life take part in this enchanting trek, you will make friendships to last a lifetime and memories they treasure forever.

This trek gives our group the chance to explore some spectacular wilderness and lesser-trekked paths. The interchangeable weather will certainly keep you on your toes – you experience all four seasons in three days trekking! To see snow-capped hills one moment and lush green landscapes the next only adds to the magic and unpredictability of this stunning country.

Iceland really is as breathtaking and striking as it looks in photographs, in fact I can honestly say that the pictures don’t do it justice! According to Icelandic folklore there are huldufólk (hidden people), elves who are only seen by the privileged few who live out of sight and when you step foot in Iceland, it’s easy to see why almost half of the population believe in their existence – this place makes you believe in magic!

If you would like to take part in this magnificent fundraising trip of a lifetime, get in touch today !

The BTC Ladies Launch night goes with a bang!

Saturday night 27th May 2017 was the brilliant launch of the Balls to Cancer Ladies Football Club.

The launch was held at the fantastic Fellows Pub in Dudley one of the Holdens brewery pubs. Holden’s Brewery support our work by having our collection pots in their pubs across the country.

The night started with a little comedy entertainment from the amazing Black Country funny man Jonny Cole.

We also had performances from George Windsor who was sublime!

The night when with a swing as we ate, drank, sung & danced into the night!

The launch was also attended by our ambassador’s Dee Kelly and Mel Eves.

We were very grateful to have the team’s main sponsors Stuart & Kym Rowlingson from Alwin Logistics .We also had one of our other sponsors there Nikki Tranter from NJT First Aid Training & Qualifications (who is also one of our midfielders)

Our Latest Update!

We started Balls to Cancer back in 2011 as a Male only cancer charity offering awareness, information and support to men of all ages.

We did this because it appeared women were well supported by the female cancer charities, yet almost six years down the line and we have seen a massive growth in women seeking our help and support.

We’ve also seen a massive increase in families with children fighting cancer coming to us for help as they don’t meet the criteria of some child specific charities

So, we need your help in letting your friends and family know we are here to support them whatever age or sex they are.

Balls to Cancer will never turn you away. There is no criteria you need to meet to get our help! If you have Cancer, fighting it, surviving it, then we will be here for you whatever!

We are proud to support you.

Early Detection is Key

Our studies have shown that the sooner a cancer is found and treated the better chance of survival you have.

This is why we need your support getting our awareness campaigns out to people, campaigns such as our weekly #FumbleFriday campaign encouraging people to check their testicles or Breasts.

Our website is also full of details on the various top twenty cancers and how to detect their signs.

So what can you do to help?? Join our social media campaigns on Facebook and Twitter, download our “How to” posters and leaflets for you to print out and give to your family and friends.

Please help us reach the 60 million UK men and women. Lets beat cancer together!
