How about a few games of nine-ball for testicular cancer? April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month so come out for a night of nine-ball at Rhythm & Cues on April 25 to raise funds to fight testicular cancer.
Cheekily titled the “Ball in Hand” event, the 9-Ball Tournament at Rhythm 'N Cues, 1855 Lasalle Blvd, is part of a Movember event in support of research and awareness of the disease.
The tournament takes place April 25 beginning at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 with all proceeds going to the Movember Foundation.
The Movember Canada organization is a registered charity dedicated to raising awareness of testicular cancer, men’s health in general, and advising men of things they should be aware of regarding their bodies and how to get medical attention if something doesn't feel right. Movember said testicular cancer is the number one cancer in younger men in Canada.
The good news said Movember is that the disease is highly curable when it is detected and reported early.
Movember is advising that young men should get a "ball in hand" and learn what is normal and what is not and be able to act on it when something doesn't feel right.
