Led by Cahonas Scotland, the campaign aims to encourage men to become more aware of their bodies, carry out regular self-checks and seek help early if they notice anything unusual.
Testicular cancer has one of the highest survival rates of any cancer when detected early. However, too many men still delay speaking up or are unsure what to look for.
Through the reach of football, the campaign is designed to get a simple but important message into dressing rooms, terraces and communities. Checking yourself takes less than a minute, and it could save your life.
Cahonas Scotland were at Rangers Training Centre this week to present to first-team and academy players. Rangers midfielder Connor Barron said: “We are pleased to support the campaign this weekend. It is such an important thing for men of all ages to think about.
“The guys from Cahonas Scotland shared their story with us and it was eye opening to hear about how it impacted their lives, but they are the lucky ones who are able to educate others. If this campaign helps save one person’s life, then it will have helped. It is so important to check yourselves.”
Ritchie Marshall CEO and Founder of Cahonas said: “Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men, yet too many still don’t know how to check themselves or feel comfortable speaking about it.
“By working with clubs across Scotland, we can reach men in environments where they already feel connected, whether that’s in the stands, the dressing room or watching at home.
If this campaign encourages even one more person to check themselves or seek help earlier, it will have made a real difference.”
