Story

Richard Pasco – aka “The Panzerwagon”

Richard is Head of Consulting for Techmodal a data science consultancy and a big fan of Tony Martin (who shares this nickname). Richard works with the military and confesses that he can’t sprint or climb but can keep rolling for kms after kms

His favourite colour is purple and he enjoys listening to the Stereophonics. On tour, we are likely to see him eating sushi washed down with a strong dark Belgian Beer.

So why Le Tour de Balls Trois?

Richard says: “To avoid my wedding anniversary! Seriously though I’m doing it to keep this issue at the front of everyone’s mind – a rapid diagnosis makes a huge difference to outcomes so keep checking yourself guys! Being told you have cancer is not at all nice but to be immediately given all this information and support from a local charity made it so much easier”

It's in the Bag

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1163735
It’s in the Bag is run by a group of survivors with support from specialist NHS staff and provide hands-on support for men with testicular cancer (germ cell) in the South-West. We have three simple aims: Support: Being diagnosed with testicular cancer and going through treatment is a huge challenge – physically, mentally and emotionally. 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 into their lives after.
