Story

On July 27, 2021, Messers Steindler, Honey, Wilson, Zambellas & Millar will be rowing an ocean boat 220 miles across the Mediterranean as part of the NOMAN is an Island challenge. Leaving the port of Ibiza, we will embark on approximately a three day and night non stop journey. Why are we doing this?

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 these 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.

41 countries now protect both boys and girls against HPV. We won't stop until every country is doing so.
