Story
Growing a moustache for charity...
"TacheBack gives all men throughout the UK the opportunity to grow some facial hair AND raise vital cash to fight male cancer at the same time.
TacheBack is calling on you to restore the tache to its rightful position as the mark of a REAL man. So...... help us separate the men from the boys this September by giving the Tache a Bash."
Testicular cancer is the most common cancer amongst young men between the ages of 20 and 35, although it can develop in boys as young as 15. Between the ages of 15 and 50, about 1 man in every 500 will develop this problem. Currently about 1600 men a year develop the disease in the UK alone. The incidence of testicular cancer has risen by 70 per cent over the last 20 years. The causes of the increase are unknown.
Though curable today, more than half the patients delay seeking treatment because of lack of knowledge or embarrassment, making treatment more complicated and distressing. Everyman is The Institute of Cancer Research's national campaign to raise awareness and funding for male cancers. The Institute of Cancer Research launched Everyman in September 1997 to highlight the issue of male cancers and to raise money to establish the UK's first dedicated male cancer research centre. Everyman has been set up by The Institute to target male cancers because:- - men's awareness is very low - the factors that cause male cancers are not fully - understood and much more research is needed - research is severely underfunded - male cancers are on the increase Now in its third year Tacheback is a campaign where I and thousands of other Tache growers across the UK aim to raise over £150,000 for Everyman to help raise awareness and to prevent and treat testicular and prostate cancer.
