What we do
Testicular cancer could be easily treated if people talked about it a bit more, if we got rid of the taboo, increased awareness, provided more information, and if support was provided to the men who do have it. We cover all those elements.
Awareness
Our awareness program helps us save lives and reduce suffering. Considering the fact that this cancer affects young men and touches on a somewhat embarrassing subject, the goal is to break down the taboos surrounding the disease. We reach millions every year with your help and donations.
