About

I have the privilege of being the CEO of The Robin Cancer Trust, the charity I founded after losing my brother Rob to testicular cancer in 2011.



For the last 14 years, I've worked to break the stigma around men's health through delivering education, awareness campaigns and community support - using humour to start life-saving conversations. I'm probably best known for running hundreds of kilometres dressed as a giant ballbag (yes, really!) to get people talking about testicular cancer.



Alongside leading the charity, I host the Thrive Against Cancer podcast and speak about men's health, purpose and turning pain into positive action. At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: if we can make health conversations feel normal, we can help save lives.

Men’s Health Week — Why #TalkingBollocks could save your life!
Every year during Men’s Health Week, we see more conversations around mental health, wellbeing, cancer awareness and the importance of speaking up - which of course, should absolutely be applauded. But there’s still a long way to go when it comes to helping men feel genuinely comfortable talking about their health. This is especially true when it comes to topics that feel personal, embarrassing or vulnerable - like testicular cancer.
