It is estimated 460 deaths will occur in 2023 from testicular cancer. With your support we can raise awareness for this rare disease and decrease the number of deaths.
TCAF was and is a Godsend to me and my family. Diagnosed with testicular cancer, we were left with many unsure decisions that really did mean life or death. What TCAF did for me and my family was so selfless in every aspect. We received financial assistance to help pay our rent for several months and make ends meet during the most stressful time in our lives. I was also directed to the best medical care for the treatment of this disease. I would not be here if it weren't for the Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation.
A testicular cancer survivor
Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation is a nonprofit compassionately dedicated in the fight against testicular cancer through awareness and outreach, promoting the importance of monthly self-exams for early detection, support and guidance to patients and families, providing a resource for the medical community, providing financial assistance to those in need and continuing to save lives.
In October 2007, Jordan Jones was diagnosed with stage 4 of an aggressive form of Testicular Cancer at the early age of 13. During his treatment it became apparent to his family that there was a lack of education and support for this disease. Jordan's family found a lot of informational research and discovered that:
• Testicular Cancer is the leading cancer in men ages 15 to 44
• In this age group, more men will die of testicular cancer than women of breast cancer.
• Approximately 9,910 new cases will arise in 2022 in the United States
• Approximately 460 deaths will occur in 2022
• If detected early, Testicular Cancer is over 95% curable
Due to the information that she uncovered and the fact that there is little awareness of Testicular Cancer; Jordan's mother, Kim Jones developed the Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation to make others aware of this disease.
