The Keep Your Eye On The Ball campaign was launched in 2000, in association with The FA and The PFA, to raise awareness of male cancers, and funds towards our vital research within the football community.

 

Celebrating 10 years!

·          We are delighted to be celebrating our 10th year of the campaign and to date we’ve proudly raised over £380,000 to help Everyman stamp out male cancer.  Over the last decade many high profile football players have been affected by male cancer - Neil Harris, Jason Cundy, Alan Stubbs, Craig Forrest, Ray Clemence, Matt Duke and John Hartson are just some of the players who have talked openly about their experiences, helping others realise how important it is for men to regularly check themselves.

Why is it so important?

·          The incidence of male cancer is rising rapidly, one man dies every hour from prostate cancer in the and testicular cancer has almost doubled in the last twenty years, yet very little is known about why this is and what causes them in the first place. Despite this, and the fact that it affects so many men in the , research into male cancer is severely under-funded.

Did you know that testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer to affect men aged between 15 and 44 – just longer than the average career span of a footballer!

Spread the word

·          37,000 men are affected by testicular and prostate cancer every year in the .  Your support will help Everyman's scientists continue their life saving research to stamp out male cancer.  Please help us raise awareness of men’s cancers.
