Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation Awareness, Support, & Survivorship Nonprofit fight against testicular cancer in men 15-44 high and high school levels. Support is very important.

We are a nonprofit organization compassionately dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by testicular cancer; educating others about the importance of awareness and early detection, and continuing to save lives. We stress the importance of early detection through the practice of monthly testicular self-exams, just as women are taught to detect early signs of breast cancer through monthly breast self-exams. We are fighting to make TSE part of education classes taught at the jr. We seek to reduce the great stigma and taboo associated with talking about testicular health. Most teenagers and young men are embarrassed to openly talk about their bodies and the changes taking place, therefore testicular cancer goes undetected and for some, it's too late. We navigate patients to the best protocols for testicular cancer that yield the best outcomes. Because testicular cancer is not as common as many of the other cancers, some medical facilities are inexperienced in the treatment of this disease and maybe unaware of the most effective protocols. It is crucial that the newly diagnosed have access to the most knowledgeable medical centers to help them beat this disease quickly and effectively. We empower the patient with resource information for financial assistance through the use of online fundraising tools. We provide limited funding to those in immediate financial need. Through social media, we connect the newly diagnosed with others who have been affected by this disease. Many men and their families feel completely alone when they are first diagnosed not knowing tc has touched thousands of lives.

MORE THAN FOOTBALL. A FRIENDSHIP, A PURPOSE, AND A PLATFORM MAKING A DIFFERENCE! 💜

At Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation, we are beyond grateful for Denver Broncos linebacker and testicular cancer survivor Alex Singleton and his commitment to raising awareness and saving lives!

Just five days after Alex’s diagnosis, a very special friendship began with Founder & CEO, Kim Jones.

For Kim, this connection holds an even deeper meaning. Alex was born the same year as her son Jordan and shares so many of his beautiful qualities: kindness, compassion, perseverance, positivity, and a genuine love for others. 💜

This past Thursday, Alex generously invited Kim and nine guests to cheer him on, treating everyone to incredible seats just five rows from the field goal. And what a night! The Broncos defeated the Seahawks 17–14 in overtime with a thrilling 53-yard field goal! 🏈🧡💙

But Alex’s impact goes far beyond football. By sharing his cancer journey and using his platform to encourage men to take charge of their health, he is reaching countless individuals with a message that could save lives.

“Alex, your friendship, generosity, and incredible heart mean more than words can express. Jordan would have absolutely loved you! Watching you turn your personal cancer journey into an opportunity to help others fills my heart with so much pride and gratitude. I’m beyond grateful our paths crossed!” 💜

Kim Jones, Founder & CEO

As Alex approaches the first anniversary of his diagnosis, we celebrate his strength, perseverance, his advocacy, and the incredible difference he continues to make!

At 69, Jim Mielziner never imagined he'd be diagnosed with testicular cancer.

While on a Mediterranean cruise, Jim noticed something unusual during a shower. There was no pain, just swelling that he knew wasn't normal. What followed was a diagnosis and a treatment journey filled with challenges he never saw coming.

In the latest episode of It Takes Balls, Jim shares his experience with honesty, humor, and a perspective shaped by everything he's been through.

From the unwavering support of his wife to his determination to keep traveling and enjoying life, Jim has plenty of wisdom to share. And his story is an important reminder that testicular cancer can affect men at any age.

🎧 We hope you'll give Jim's story a listen and share it with someone who might benefit from hearing it. 💜

You don't have to carry everything on your own.

In this clip from today's new episode of It Takes Balls, Michael Autore shares a piece of advice he hopes others facing testicular cancer will hear: bring someone with you to appointments and don't be afraid to ask for help.

There can be so much to process after a diagnosis. Having someone beside you to listen, remember the details, or simply be there can make a difference.

Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness. Sometimes, letting people show up for you is part of getting through it. 💜
