Balls to Cancer are pleased to announce that as part of Male Cancer Awareness Month in 2016 we aim to offer  grown men their very own chance to play at their  football club against some of their legends.

We are asking men who want the opportunity to make their dream of playing on their beloved turf.

What we are asking you to do is register by email with your name – age -club name to fullkitdads@ballstocancer.com. There will then be a ballot selection of 15 men per team (please state positions you are willing to play). Those 15 men will have to raise a minimum of £200 to take part.

So do you want to get involved? Get in touch today!!

Balls To Cancer has acquired a nice new mascot for fundraising from the kind folks at Jokers’ Masquerade fancy dress. Can you guess which famous movie character it is?

Jokers’ has decided to join the Balls To Cancer efforts in increasing knowledge of Male Cancer awareness month.

We managed to pull of the impossible for our Terminally Ill Cancer fighter Andrew and his little son Hayden and got the totally fanatical Aston Villa Fans tickets to the FA Cup final

Even though the result didn’t go the Villians way they both had a fantastic day out at a historic event for any Aston Villa supporter.

We would like to thank you #Teamnuts on behalf of Andrew and Hayden

If you would like to help us bring more of our fighters dreams in to reality please donate here  Thank you very much 

We are organising national 5k Male only fun runs in 2016 which we hope will become an annual event.

We also need men to sign up  to run, all we need for now is an email to contact@ballstocancer.com with your name age and your town/city

RUN YOUR BALLS OFF

June is Male Cancer awareness month and we will be ensuring for the whole month we push as much cancer information to you as we can. We will also be asking you to  hold events and awareness campaigns to raise the nations awareness of cancer in Men.

The first week of June is our main awareness week and we will be asking schools and offices to wear blue on Friday the 10th to show their support of all of the 200,000 men diagnosed with cancer every yea

Please help us make Male cancer as important as our Female fighters

Sheffield-based Singer songwriter, Music Producer and DJ, Damon Hess, who has collaborated  with many top class guest artists, has stepped into Ex Army Infantry boxer- turned professional fighter, Ross Burkinshaw‘scorner, to write and produce his own entrance music in time for his WBO Inter-Continental Bantamweight title  fight on May 30^th, when he faces South African Klaas Mboyane.

Burkinshaw is yet to step out to into the ring with his own entrance music, a fact which Hess felt needed to be rectified. “Against All Odds”, release date 22^nd May 2015, will not only bolster the likeable Sheffield fighter on his way to the ring, but also raise well needed funds for two of the charities Ross supports.

Upon its release to iTunes, proceeds will be split between Balls to Cancer, a charity raising funds for male cancer awareness and education and Hallam FMs Cash for Kids, a grant giving charity which supports individual children, groups and children’s charities where children are sick, deprived and in need of extra support.

Sheffield, Yorkshire and UK residents all now have the opportunity to stand behind one of it’s heroes, when he will move one step closer to his title dream with the head to head clash with Mboyane at Rotherham’s Magna Centre, accompanied by the musical pomp and ceremony any such prizefighter deserves.

At the end of March and to launch our Testicular cancer awareness month of April we took our #FumbleFriday campaign on the road to the Students Union of Birmingham University.

We wanted to see if men could describe the feel of their balls and found that the male students were a little shy and it took the girls to push the lads to get involved. Embarrassment  is the main problem with testicular cancer diagnosis and was clear that men didn’t even want to talk about them.

However as you will see below we eventually got there. Hopefully we will be able to do this nationwide!!

Thanks to all that took part

Thanks to the support of our #Teamnuts we were able to give terminally ill Tom Cooper, his wife and two young children a brilliant Birthday night out and meal at his favorite restaurant Bombay Hut  in Burnley.

We also supplied them a brand new washing machine when theirs broke down.

Please read Toms story…..

“Just as everything was looking bright and promising, our worlds came tumbling down in October 2011 when I was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma – a rare type of cancer in this country that is behind the nose. On the same day we were also told it had already spread to the neck, collar bone, lymph nodes under both arms and lungs. I was told that I had probably had it at least 2 years already and that it was not curable. Devastating news, very hard to hear and life has been very difficult since, but looking at my two beautiful girls…. They keep me and my family going, and that’s the reason were fighting this strong TOGETHER!! ♥”
