When faced with cancer, women tend to “reach out,” and men tend to “check out.” This leads men down the path toward mental health problems, strained relationships, and poor medical outcomes.
It’s time for a new path. We are changing what it means to “Man Up” in the face of cancer. It’s not just about being tough. It means having the courage to accept help, and knowing we are smarter and stronger as a pack than we are as lone wolves.
Man Up to Cancer also delivers a wide range of content featuring real stories by real guys going through cancer — no filters, no bs. You can check out our social channels, newsletter, the Man Up to Cancer Podcast and the book Open Heart, Warrior Spirit: A Man’s Guide to Living with Cancer.
