David's Beer Push for testicular cancer

David Holliday is raising money for It's On The Ball

Beer Push · 18 April 2020

It's On The Ball is a charity whose aims are to raise awareness of testicular cancer and support patients who are affected. Although testicular cancer is very rare, in many cases it has already spread at the time of diagnosis, but if detected in its early stages 98% of patients can be cured.

Story

It's finished!!!

David's biggest, hardest ever beer push was completed between 1-7 Oct 2025 Norwich

He attempted to push 75kg 350km in 7 days in 7 ultra marathons. He didn't quite make the mileage but did push over 9.5 hours each day

This mammoth challenge took place in Norwich - thanks to all of those who came to support him.

The work of It’s on the Ball – with a special shout out to Vince and Anne and the team, really helps to highlight that it is young men – aged 18 -24 – who are most likely to be affected, but by checking themselves monthly they can have a 96% survival rate. However, late diagnosis, just by a few weeks can all too often be fatal as the cancer spreads vigorously.

By raising awareness I hope to stop young men dying needlessly.
