Dr. Gamblin hopes to raise $250,000 for Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation which will be instrumental in bringing greater awareness and support to those affected by this disease.

‘Men tend to ignore their health for some reason, I don’t know why exactly,’ Dr. Gamblin said. ‘Testicular cancer is the number one cancer that affects males aged 15 to 44. Every hour, someone is being diagnosed. Every day, someone in our country dies of testicular cancer.’
