NOMAN END HPV is raising money for The HPV and Anal Cancer Foundation Limited
Story
This July; Dean, Casey, Michael & Tristan will be tackling 200 miles of the Mediterranean in NOMAN's Barcelona - Ibiza: Row to End HPV.
The Row to End HPV is a test of mental and physical endurance. A relentless schedule --2 hours on, 2 hours off -- non stop for 4 days on the open ocean, whilst combating sleep deprivation, heat, blisters, sea sickness and a confined cabin space.
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. 46 countries now protect both boys and girls against HPV.
We won't stop until every country is doing so.
