Story

Hello family, friends & supporters,

On April 17th, I run the London Marathon to support our good friends at the Male Cancer Awareness Campaign charity.

MCAC enlisted the help from Little Britain creators to come up with their character 'Mr Testicles'.   This cheeky fellow weighs in at 6Kg, a complete nuisance to run in, but will be immense fun!

Leading up to the marathon, we have a publicity day round the sights of town.  Here we’ll raise awareness, and hope to capture some corking photos.   

My first actual run in the suit will be the Reading half, end of March.

About the charity:

What makes MCAC different? The money doesn’t go into research, they believe education is the key to fighting male cancer.

 Their Aims:

To increase awareness of how to detect the symptoms of cancer in the early stages

To help build a culture where embarrassment does not prevent men from addressing problems with intimate parts of their bodies.

No young men between the ages of 16-35 die of testicular cancer in the UK.

Education on the early warning signs of male cancer becomes part of the national school curriculum.

 

Please do get behind us, whatever you can donate, we all really appreciate it, and will make a huge difference.

Stuart / Mr Testicles  xx
