Each year, 25,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK and 10,000 die of the disease.
Testicular cancer mostly affects men between the ages of 20 and 35. Brothers, fathers or sons of testicular cancer patients have up to a ten-fold increased risk of developing the disease themselves. More than 96 per cent of testicular cancer cases can be cured if caught at an early stage. Research into testicular and prostate cancer is underfunded, despite the alarming number of cases each year. On Saturday 11th June 2005 a group of Skydivers from Skydive Weston (www.rafspa.com) will be doing a Skydive in nothing but boxer shorts during Everymans 'Male Cancer Awareness' month. Topman are supporting 'Everyman' by producing a fantastic range of Boxer Shorts, Briefs, Vest, T-Shirt and Wristbands which have all been designed by Martin Andersson. Topman have also donated Boxer Shorts for us to wear on the day. Check out the range and also order online: www.topman.co.uk Skydivers so far are...
