According to the NHS, around 2,300 men are diagnosed with testicular cancer each year in the UK and it is the most common type of cancer to affect men between the ages of 15 and 49.
Father & Son Day, which falls naturally on Father’s Day here in the UK, was set up in 2014 by PR powerhouse Daniel Marks and content strategist Jack Dyson, who both survived testicular cancer. Their aim was to elevate consciousness around male cancer, at a time when little was being said about it in public, while raising money for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. Seven years later the pair have worked with the likes of Orlebar Brown, while in previous campaigns celebrities ranging from Princes William and Harry to Noel Gallagher have called for the public to support the cause.
Marsden supporters march for cancer centre A fundraising event saw walkers brave the wind and rain to support the Royal Marsden last week. On Sunday ( May 23 ), thousands of people took part in The Banham Marsden March at Home in a bid to raise money for The Royal Marsden s Oak Cancer Centre appeal. The centre aims to speed up the translation of world-leading research into breakthroughs in treatment and care, transforming the lives of cancer patients when it opens at the end of 2022. Supporters walked five or 15 miles across the country separately, rather than the regular route between the hospital in Chelsea and Sutton.
