So my Charity was made by Phil a former soldier who first had testicular cancer in 2003 and while he was on chemo felt very alone and had never been told about testicular cancer.
Facebook and social media did not exist and there was no real support for men who had testicular cancer. He researched testicular cancer from a-z so he had some understanding on a level that he understood. that the doctors although great people
He just wanted someone to talk to who may guide him through treatment and the emotions that come with a diagnosis. It would have made things a bit easier. Talking to another man.who's had or is on the treatment would have taken a weight off the shou. He set up checkemlads.com which was the first testicular cancer dedicated website in the world which was a down to earth look at testicular cancer and dedicated himself to talking to men who get diagnosed so they did not feel alone as he did.
He was the first along with Nick O'Hara Smith to raise awareness of testosterone replacement and how low testo can affect survivors and recently got the guidelines changed that help improves men's health post-cancer.
He conducts regular award-winning talks to schools and workplaces when time permits
Phil made the first-ever testicular cancer treatment documentary which was filmed in a cancer hospital and is now used across the world by various oncologists.
He has ever since dedicated himself to awareness and support with thousands of men getting help and support and he can say a lot of them are still friends to this day.
Please donate to Phill and his wonderful charity which are doing amazing work.
