On Saturday thirteenth and Sunday 14th September, Toby Freeman, founder and CEO of The Robin Most cancers Belief, the UK’s solely germ cell most cancers charity, will tackle the subsequent stage of his ‘Huge Ballsy Problem’ by operating 100km (62 miles) alongside the Thames Path from Putney to Henley, London.
The Thames Path Ultramarathon is without doubt one of the UK’s hardest endurance occasions, pushing individuals to cowl the gap in beneath 24 hours. For Toby, it’s one other milestone in his 500km Huge Ballsy Problem marketing campaign, a year-long mission of marathons and ultramarathons to lift funds and spark life-saving conversations round testicular most cancers, the commonest most cancers in younger males.
For Toby, these challenges aren’t nearly health, they’re deeply private. In 2011, his youthful brother Robin died of testicular most cancers on the age of simply 24. Within the wake of that loss, Toby and his household based The Robin Most cancers Belief to lift consciousness, smash the stigma round males’s well being, and save younger lives by early detection.
Toby Freeman, Founder and CEO of The Robin Most cancers Belief, mentioned:
“Each mile is for Rob, and for each younger man on the market who doesn’t know the signs of testicular most cancers. This ultramarathon is brutal, however it’s nothing in comparison with what households undergo when it’s caught too late. If me pushing by 100km, dressed as a large testicle, will get lads speaking about their well being and checking themselves, then it’s value each step.”
Regardless of being 96% curable when caught early, testicular most cancers is just too usually detected late on account of embarrassment and lack of knowledge. Via daring, inventive campaigns and challenges like this, Toby’s mission is to alter that, one awkward dialog (and some blisters) at a time.
The Huge Ballsy Problem is aiming to lift £240,000, that’s £100 for each man recognized with testicular most cancers within the UK annually.
Up to now, the marketing campaign has already generated over £18,000, with Toby clocking up the miles on the Brighton and London Marathons, operating the total size of Hadrian’s Wall, and finishing numerous native runs. Each pound raised goes immediately into The Robin Most cancers Belief’s life-saving work, delivering most cancers consciousness talks in faculties, universities, workplaces, and communities throughout the nation.
