Have you got the balls to Check Your Tools?
We’re proud to be partnering with The OddBalls Foundation to raise awareness of testicular cancer — the most common cancer in men aged 15-49 in the UK. Every year, around 2,400 men are diagnosed, which is roughly six men a day or one every four hours. Testicular cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer if caught early, emphasizing the importance of regular self-checks and early detection.
That’s why our ‘Check Your Tools’ campaign is seeking to put awareness around testicular self-examination in the hands – quite literally – of tradesmen across the UK.
