OUR FRIENDS AND CHARITY

Our Chosen Charity

Our team is so glad to support local charity It’s on The Ball, and brew their beer – Tobi’s Tipple.

The small dedicated team strive constantly to raise awareness of testicular cancer – one of the biggest killers of young men, but one which needn’t be – as 98% of cases can be cured if caught in time.

They struggle because men are not only resistant to chat about such things, it isn’t exactly coffee table banter – so we help by getting people talking about it in pubs. It’s simple, one bloke mentions it to another and so it goes on – spread the word and save lives.

Look out for regular activity that we do, including Tobi’s Tipple ale and do check out the charity’s website: http://itsontheball.org

HELP DAVID RAISE  £60,000 FOR CHARITY

FOR INFO AND TO DONATE

The next beer push 2025 is announced – 7 ultra marathons in 7 days pushing 75kg of beer. David will push the barrel 350km (210 miles) between 1-7 October.

The work of It’s on the Ball really helps to highlight that it is young men – aged 18 -24 – who are most likely to be affected, but by checking themselves monthly they can have a 96% survival rate. However, late diagnosis, just by a few weeks can all too often be fatal as the cancer spreads vigorously.

By raising awareness we hope to stop young men dying needlessly.

You can also learn more about testicular cancer and how to check yourself monthly by visiting https://itsontheball.org/

If we can get the word out there and get young men to check themselves monthly, we will save lives. He must be crazy!
