Are you ready to run cancer outta your hood?

The once-off COVID-edition, national Hollard Daredevil Run 2021
is officially open for entries

Get ready for the streets of your hood to be painted purple on Friday 15 October will see thousands of brave men in purple speedos take to their streets to run cancer outta their hood.

Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer and is on the increase. According to global research, one in every six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Early diagnosis of prostate cancer can mean a 95% chance of being cured.

“The Hollard Daredevil Run is an opportunity to dare the men in our lives to be brave, to participate in a run with a difference to make a difference, to challenge stereotypes about male cancers, to start conversations about understanding prostate and testicular cancer and to learn how to lower cancer risk and how to catch it early,” says Heidi Brauer, Chief Marketing Officer at Hollard.

Get screened for prostate cancer

Men need not be fearful of invasive screening when a simple Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test can determine prostate specific antigen levels and if they are at risk of prostate cancer. We urge men, over 40 years not to delay and to take advantage of our affordable screening fee for PSA testing at local CANSA Care Centres. Strict COVID protocols are followed to ensure your safety.

Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men aged between 15 – 39 and can affect men of all races. The survival rate of stage 1 testicular cancer can be as high as 100%, making early detection and prompt action vital.

“We’re challenging South African men to confront male cancers head-on by showing that they’re not afraid to run in a speedo, not afraid to talk about cancer and not afraid to get checked,” Brauer says.

Do monthly testicular self-examinations, especially between ages of 15 to 49

Regular monthly self-examinations can help detect this cancer early. Men from the ages of 15 to 49 need to examine their testicles, preferably after a bath or shower, to feel for any pea-sized lumps that could indicate testicular cancer. Find instructions on doing a self-examination on the CANSA website.
