Have you got the balls to Check Your Tools?
To mark the start of April’s Testicular Cancer Awareness Month, we’re encouraging everybody connected to MKM to ‘Check Their Tools’.
We are partnering up with the Oddballs Foundation to help raise awareness for testicular cancer, the most commonly occurring cancer in men aged 15-49. With 2,400 new cases diagnosed annually, the illness still claims an average of 65 lives in the UK each year despite being one of the most treatable forms of cancer in men if caught early enough.
That’s why our new ‘Check Your Tools’ campaign is seeking to put awareness around testicular self-examination in the hands – quite literally – of tradesmen across the UK.
