Civic & Social Organization - Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
The goal of Love Your Nuts is to raise awareness of testicular cancer by educating communities about the rarely spoken about cancer that often remains undetected in young adults due to our diverse society in South Africa, where cultural taboos, stigmas and a lack of knowledge about the subject is widespread.Our pillars in a nutshell:EducationThe main project is to get a mobile app developed which will have 3 components:• Cancer school programme – already developed• Educational game – mobile app idea – we actively looking for a partnership• Option for Research to plug-in at the background of the app – reaching out to universities currentlyWe give educational and motivational talks at schools, corporates, sport clubs and events. An educational stage play "Nuts about you" for high schools is available on requestAwarenessWe've got runners at different events nationwide who run in swimwear to raise awareness and funds.Cyclists participate at different events nationwide too and every second year a group of cyclists take up the challenge to cycle from Johannesburg to Durban (720 km over 5 days) to raise awareness in the more rural areas.We are open to any nutty idea to raise awareness and funds. Please contact us if you like to get involved.SupportWe support men diagnosed with testicular cancer emotionally. It is often easier to share thoughts and fears with a survivor than with a family member or friend. Building a network of survivors nationwide/worldwide is in a developing stage to support patients.
