Cancer diagnoses are always bad (trust me, I've had two). But imagine:

• you’re the breadwinner supporting a family in a lockdown
  economy
• your partner has lost her job
• you’re on a 0hrs contract
• there's a raging pandemic
• and the chemo has wiped out your immune system

It might feel like the odds are stacked against you.

Last week I spoke to the oncologist who saved my life (twice). I asked her how they were coping during the pandemic and as expected, it's brutal. 

On top of the pressures Covid-19 places on the NHS, the lockdown economy means patients now face an impossible choice between following the treatment plan and supporting their families.  

I asked her how I could make her life easier, and she said 'find some funds for It's On The Ball' - the local charity (which she helps run) to support testicular cancer patients in need. 

So that's what we're doing. 

If you can help us get to £2000, Pati and I will gratefully match the first £200.
