It's in the Bag are working with lesser known cancer charities together to raise awareness and tackle the impact of Covid-19. Cancer Doesn't Stop For Covid so early diagnosis is key.

Story

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to delays to cancer diagnosis and treatment, which could lead to as many as 35,000 additional deaths. With more than 55,000 cancer patients in England currently waiting for key tests, the emotional and practical support provided by less common cancer charities is needed now more than ever. As the need for charity services increases, the donations that they depend on have decreased. Many fundraising events have been cancelled or postponed but with your help It's In The Bag can continue to support men and their families affected by Testicular Cancer.

Ten years ago I survived Testicular cancer and those that know me can attest that I have done little exercise since. I am promising to complete 20 proper push ups daily for 20 days in support of Its In The Bag. This may not seem much but I can currently manage maybe 2/3 before collapsing into a sweaty heap.

Please consider donating.

About the charity

It's in the Bag

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1163735
It’s in the Bag is run by a group of survivors with support from specialist NHS staff and provide hands-on support for men with testicular cancer (germ cell) in the South-West. We have three simple aims: Support: Being diagnosed with testicular cancer and going through treatment is a huge challenge – physically, mentally and emotionally. We provide a range of activities and initiatives to help men through this tough time. Awareness: We teach men the importance of checking their balls regularly and taking any issues straight to their GP. Spreading this knowledge promotes earlier diagnosis, which often means simpler, more effective treatment and better chances of a cure. Survival: With UK cure rates for testicular cancer running above 98%, we focus on survival helping guys tackle the emotional and practical impact of cancer, both during treatment and into their lives after.
