This July, my team and I will be undertaking a challenge none of us have faced before: constant rowing for 3-4 days across the Mediterranean Sea from Ibiza to Barcelona.

We'll face the brutal Mediterranean Summer sun, sores, fatigue and seasickness while supporting each other to get to Barcelona as quickly as possible to raise awareness and funds for a cause that affects millions worldwide:

NOMAN raises awareness about the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) related cancer epidemic in men and women, and campaigns for universal HPV vaccination, while challenging participants to extreme endurance races across the world.

HPV is the causal agent of 5% of cancer, yet the vast majority of people remain unaware of the link between the two outside of cervical cancer. We can prevent HPV cancers simply by vaccinating both boys and girls against HPV.

The HPV-vaccine is a cancer preventing vaccine, and presents the greatest opportunity we've had to prevent cancer in decades.

Over 60 countries now protect both boys and girls against HPV. We won't stop until every country is doing so.
