26.2 miles is a long way.

But it’s nothing compared to the journey faced by someone hearing the words: “You have testicular cancer.”

We’re looking for a small team of runners to take on the TCS London Marathon 2027 for Cahonas Scotland.

You’ll get a free place.

In return, you’ll help us reach more young men with life-saving education, support more people through diagnosis and treatment, and make sure nobody faces testicular cancer alone.

Ready to be part of it?

“I didn’t want to add that extra worry.”

When Nathan first noticed something wasn’t right, he kept it to himself. He didn’t want to worry his family. He didn’t want to burden his friends. He didn’t want to add to anyone else’s stress.

It’s something we hear time and time again from men affected by testicular cancer.

Many face appointments, scans, treatment and uncertainty feeling they have to carry it all alone. The reality is that a diagnosis doesn’t just affect physical health. It can impact confidence, relationships, mental wellbeing and the ability to ask for help when it’s needed most.

That’s why Cahonas Scotland does what we do. From our Check In Room and peer support activities, to one-to-one conversations and our online community, we’re creating spaces where people affected by testicular cancer can talk openly, share experiences, and connect with others who understand.

🎙️ Watch Nathan share his experience on Check One Two.

"I just didn't want to do it anymore."

Testicular cancer is often described as one of the most treatable cancers, and thankfully survival rates are high. What is talked about less often is the impact treatment can have on someone's mental wellbeing.

In this clip from Check One Two, Ronan reflects on reaching the final days of chemotherapy and feeling completely exhausted, physically and mentally.

Behind every diagnosis is a person trying to navigate fear, uncertainty, treatment, recovery, and everything that comes with it. It's why support matters.

Whether that's a conversation, peer support, a podcast episode, or simply knowing someone understands what you're going through, nobody should have to face cancer alone.

Listen to more real stories on Check One Two, The Lowdown on Testicular Cancer.

A huge congratulations and thank you to Taylor Crawford, who took on the Edinburgh Marathon in support of Cahonas Scotland, raising an amazing £1,298.24!�
After being diagnosed with testicular cancer last year, Taylor went from discovering a lump, through surgery and treatment, to crossing the finish line just months later. His journey is a powerful reminder of why awareness, early detection and support matter.�
One thing Taylor told us has always stuck with us: "I wish I was aware of you guys when I first found the lump." Today, thanks to Taylor's incredible efforts, more people will be.�
From everyone at Cahonas Scotland, thank you for choosing to run for us, for sharing your story, and for helping ensure others facing testicular cancer know they're not alone.�
Congratulations, Taylor. What an achievement. 👏🏃‍♂️💙�

A massive thank you to Todd and Sian Whiteford for taking on the London Marathon in support of Cahonas Scotland.

Together they raised an incredible £6,237 to help us continue our life saving work and provide support to those affected by testicular cancer.

As a two-time testicular cancer survivor, Todd knows better than most why awareness, education and support matter. We’re incredibly grateful that he and Sian chose to take on this huge challenge for us.

We’re also hugely thankful to The Good Coffee Cartel, who supported their fundraising by launching a special edition Cahonas coffee.

Todd has been a fantastic supporter of Cahonas for many years and we couldn’t be more grateful to both him and Sian for everything they’ve done. From all of us at Cahonas, thank you. 💙

ThankYou 💙

For many men affected by testicular cancer, the hardest part is often when everyone else thinks you’re “back to normal”.

You ring the bell. Treatment ends. People tell you how lucky you are. How strong you’ve been. How glad they are that you’re “ok”. But the reality can be very different.

We regularly hear from men struggling with the trauma of a cancer diagnosis, anxiety around recurrence, fertility worries, body confidence, identity, masculinity, the long term effects of chemotherapy, low testosterone, and the pressure to just “get on with it”. That’s why support matters.

At Cahonas Scotland, we support men beyond the diagnosis itself. From our “You’ve Got This” chemo care packs designed to make treatment that little bit easier, to peer support from others who have already gone through testicular cancer, to our Check In Room at Cahonas HQ, community get togethers, and our Check One Two podcast, which has become a support tool for many men and families navigating a diagnosis, we want people to know they don’t need to carry it all on their own.

Because surviving cancer and living with what comes after are not always the same thing.

We’re incredibly proud to share that Check One Two Podcast - The Lowdown on Testicular Cancer has been shortlisted at the Scottish Podcast Awards in both the Community Impact & Charity category and Best Artwork category.

What makes this so meaningful to us is that this podcast was never created to chase huge audiences or viral moments.

Check One Two exists because too many people affected by testicular cancer told us they felt isolated, overwhelmed, frightened, or unprepared for the reality of diagnosis and treatment.

The podcast has become a space for honest conversations around not just cancer itself, but fertility, masculinity, mental health, relationships, body confidence, chemotherapy, life after treatment, and everything that often goes unspoken.

Over the years we’ve received messages from people listening while sitting in hospital appointments, during chemotherapy, after diagnosis, or from family members trying to better understand what a loved one is going through.

This isn’t just a podcast people stumble across for entertainment. Very often, people find it when they genuinely need support.

For a small Scottish charity podcast focused on such a specific issue to receive recognition like this honestly means a huge amount.

Thank you to everyone who has shared their story, listened, supported us, and helped make Check One Two what it is 💙
