One For The Boys

One For The Boys One For The Boys works to remove the stigma around men talking about their health. This has to change. Now, even for the toughest of us, Cancer is pretty scary.

We do this through providing cancer education for men and medical professionals, while also promoting awareness of all cancers that can affect men. Men don't like to talk about their problems
Too often in society men are expected to just get on with things and tough out any problems they have. Speaking up or complaining about any issues isn't seen as the 'manly' thing to do. Ignoring

possible health problems can have fatal consequences. No one wants to hear they could have Cancer. And so, all too often, guys put off getting something checked. But that little health ni**le? Chances are it isn't going away on its own. And leaving it means it's just going to get worse. One For The Boys is here to change male attitudes towards their health by normalising speaking up about problems and getting checked sooner. We work with guys at all levels across the world and more locally in communities to get them educated on what to look out for and when to head to the doctor.

We spend so much time telling ourselves, "I'll do it tomorrow."

Sometimes tomorrow comes too late.

If something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts and get it checked.

Today we're remembering our dear friend, the incredible Richard Roundtree, on what would have been his 84th birthday.

We still very much miss Richard and his laugh that truly brightened every room he was in. This is just a small highlight of Richard from our One For The Boys Karaoke night at Abbey Road Studios.

Richard was a huge advocate for the importance of early detection - so in honour of Richard, we're encouraging you to take the time to pay attention to your body, and if something doesn't feel right - don't wait, go and get it checked 💙

More younger adults are being diagnosed with bowel cancer than ever before.

It can still be seen as something that only affects older people, which can make it harder for younger people to get diagnosed. By then, the cancer can be far more advanced.

Most ongoing symptoms won't be cancer. But if something doesn't feel right, and you're not getting better, trust yourself.

Keep asking questions. Go back if you need to. Get a second, or third, opinion if you need to.

You're not trying to prove anyone wrong. You're advocating for your health to get the answers you need.

"If you are putting off something - whether it's finding a doctor, if it's taking better care of yourself - if you're putting off something that feels too great, it's just because you haven't made the first step small enough." 💙
