10 men, 10km, £10,000
testhim have partnered up with toughmudder and Fertility Network UK to address the huge issue around male fertility awareness and support.
We've got 10 men competing on the 10km course to raise £10,000
Fertility affects approximately 1 in 6 couples worldwide.
A lot of focus and support is aimed at women however it is just as likely to be a male factor causing issues as it is a female factor. 7% of all men worldwide will be affected by fertility (that's around 60 million men) making it just as common as diabetes.
Unfortunately though, male fertility awareness, support and testing is seriously lacking.
For too long men have been the neglected part of the fertility equation and it's not helping them or their partners.
Lack of support and testing for men means many are marginalised throughout fertility treatment leading to serious mental health problems and sometimes unnecessary fertility treatment.
We are using this campaign to raise awareness of male fertility so that we can break the huge stigma surrounding male fertility.
