A bunch of nutty cyclists will again take up the challenge of cycling ± 720 km from Edenvale to Durban from 24 - 28 September 2021 to raise awareness of testicular cancer. Cycling their nuts off for testicular cancer awareness
A bunch of nutty cyclists are taking up the challenge of cycling 760km from Edenvale to Durban in August 2021 to raise awareness of testicular cancer. The nutters include 1
9 men and one lady (She has balls too!) aged between 30 and a whopping 68 years young. 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 plentiful. Enroute the cyclists will raise awareness at schools because testicular cancer is a young man’s cancer (most common between 15 and 40). the Cancer Smart School Programme (https://www.loveyournuts.org/cancer-school-program/)
Torsten Koehler
The founder of Love Your Nuts campaign was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1995 whilst educating young teenagers about ‘sex education’ at a school and being in his early thirties himself. His journey of survival started by openly confronting in his book his thoughts and emotions, relate the reactions of his friends, family and not least, his students, who provoked him without reserve and in doing so, gave him enormous help and hope. "He has won, he lives and he loves. He is showing everybody how valuable they are and how fantastic life can be" (a reader's words) and therefore has a passion for this campaign. Students helped him during his cancer journey. Educating young men and make them aware is his way of giving back. If you think this idea is fantesticle and you would like to support the riders feel free to contact us or buy some virtual nuts online: https://www.loveyournuts.org/product/bike-nuts/
