We provide a range of activities and initiatives to help men through this tough time. Awareness We teach men the importance of checking their balls regularly and taking any issues straight to their GP. Spreading this knowledge promotes earlier diagnosis, which often means simpler, more effective treatment and better chances of a cure. Survival With UK cure rates for testicular cancer running above 98%, we focus on survival – helping guys tackle the emotional and practical impact of cancer, both during treatment and beyond.

Balls to Cancer

Balls to Cancer

Balls to Cancer was setup in 2011 by Mark Bates with the love and support of his wife Susan following the death of Mark’s father, Geoff and Susan’s grandad Peter. Balls to Cancer, a registered charity in the UK was started to help raise awareness and offer support to men dealing with cancer. Within a short time, we realised that we were able to offer our help and support to everyone. We’ve been successfully helping men, women and children suffering with cancer giving them the love and support so they’re not alone. We offer information on all forms of cancer via our website and we’re on hand to offer support by listening and talking. Through the generosity of our supporters, we’re able to look at supporting sufferers financially; giving support with household bills, equipment, clothing, school uniforms and winter coats. Cancer hits everyone it affects physically, mentally and financially and we’re on hand to help where we can. In addition, we have 2 amazing luxury holiday homes in Burnham-on-Sea where families can share a carefree holiday, without worry; for free. We’re lucky to be able to offer free Chemotherapy support packs to anyone going through this challenging treatment.
