Guys, hold on to your balls
This is a story about a real man. The man who won the fight against cancer, after which he was left with one testicle. He sold his house and is now pushing a giant ball symbolizing a man's testicle across America. His campaign runs under a very cheerful slogan: "Hold on to your balls."
Thomas Cantlie, after beating cancer, quit his job, sold his house, left everything except a dog named Vader and went on a trip to America to raise awareness of men about testicular cancer.
His goal is to draw attention to the problem of testicular cancer, which, as it turned out, is the "number one" cancer among men aged 15 to 35 years.
His journey attracted a lot of attention, because it's not every day you meet a man on the street pushing a giant "testicle" — his inflatable imitation — across America.
Thomas Cantlie jokingly called himself Mr. Ballsy (a play on words: ball means a ball, and ballsy means assertive, bold).
The 31-year-old Mr. Assertive first walked all over Canada with his ball, and then got to the USA.
A huge egg with a diameter of 1.5 meters, Mr. Assertive intends to push from Santa Monica to New York.
Mr. Assertive is accompanied by a whole team that documents his journey.
This bold campaign is funded thanks to the people Mr. Ballsy meets on his way — those who have been through it themselves, or those who believe in his just cause.
9. Thomas has a good sense of humor, he gave the name of the inflatable testicle "Left" in memory of the one he lost as a result of illness.
The "left" was made to order by a sportswear manufacturer.
The dog Vader accompanies his master on such a noble mission.
In all cities, the Assertive One tries to meet with as large a group of men as possible to explain to them how important a simple systematic self-examination of the testicles for the presence of swelling, nodules, seals, etc. is. Early diagnosis of cancer allows patients in 99 cases out of 100 to survive and return to a normal, active life.
