#NationalBallCheckDay

GUYS!

If you haven’t checked your testicles for signs of cancer, Jason Greenspan has designed a day with you in mind! It could be the most important couple of minutes of your life.

Tomorrow, April 7, 2020, is the first ever #NationalBallCheckDay.

I was at a loss for words when I learned about Jason’s cancer journey.

“The week before my high school prom, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer. I was 18 years old,” Jason told me when we spoke on the phone earlier this year.

Talk about a life-changing moment. The Maryland teenager went from a normal high school senior to a cancer patient needing surgery and chemotherapy.

Jason didn’t let that experience defeat him.

Instead, he used it as motivation to help others. Now in his mid-20s, Jason is the driving force behind National Ball Check Day. This first-ever testicular self-exam campaign is happening on April 7, 2020.

Here is some information about NBCD, straight from www.nationalballcheckday.com.

(If you don’t know how to perform a testicular self-exam, there are easy instructions on the site.)

“Testicular cancer is most common in males 15-44 years old and 99% curable if detected early.

Join us to celebrate National Ball Check Day™ on the first Tuesday in April to raise awareness for testicular cancer. 

National Ball Check Day™ is a social media campaign and day aiming to MANdate testicular self-exams and raise awareness for early detection of testicular cancer. Our mission is to eliminate the stigma surrounding this type of cancer. This is the first-ever day dedicated to performing testicular self-exams and we are a compliment of Testicular Cancer Awareness Month.
