Movember begins Know Thy Nuts campaign
By Rob Bale
Charitable organization Movember Canada has begun an online campaign called “Know Thy Nuts” intended to raise awareness of testicular cancer. The effort encourages men to check themselves for signs of the disease. It includes an online video and a website at <https:://nutsandbolts.movember.com> that provides resources for men who have been diagnosed with testicular cancer.
“At Movember, we're incredibly proud of the work we're doing to raise awareness around testicular cancer,” said Mike Fraser, the organization’s director of implementation for cancer programming in Canada. “While Movember has invested in new research aimed at treating testicular cancer, some of our most impactful programs are those aimed at encouraging men, especially young men who are at the highest risk of developing the disease, to keep tabs on what feels normal. Almost all testicular cancers are highly treatable when discovered early.”
