Missouri Man Aims to Stomp Out Testicular Cancer 1 T-Shirt at a Time
With between 7500-8500 new positive diagnosis this year alone, Testicular Cancer is indeed a cause for concern. If caught early enough, there's a 90-100% survival rate. “That's where we come in,” says Pinegar. “We want to get people talking about this and make people realize this isn't taboo. “This is life-or-death serious.”
Nixa, MO, February 01, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The pink ribbon campaign has taken the world by storm, and has done wonders for breast cancer awareness. “It's a great campaign, and was part of my inspiration to start this company, but I think men still feel a little left out,” says Jeremy Pinegar – co-founder of The Testicular Cancer Research Foundation (TesticularCancerResearchFoundation.org) and it's sister site BallCancerSucks.com.
