By 2030, prostate cancer is predicted to be the most common cancer in South Africa, with black African men having an estimated 60% higher risk for prostate cancer than other population groups. The survival ve-year survival rate in men whose prostate cancer is diagnosed and treated in the early stages is over 95%. While rare, testicular cancer is still the most common cancer affecting males between the ages of 15 and 35. The survival rate for men who are diagnosed and treated for early-stage testicular cancer can be as high as 98%. All proceeds from the Hollard Daredevil Run go to the Cancer Association of South Africa and the Prostate Cancer Foundation of South Africa, to fund age and risk appropriate screening in under-resourced areas and to increase awareness, support, and research. “We want to thank both the Cancer Association of South Africa and the Prostate Cancer Foundation for partnering with Daredevil for so many years. Thank you for accompanying us on this journey as the event has grown and changed over the years, and for the amazing work that you all do. We are so proud that this run with a difference can make such a difference is the lives of so many men and their families,” Bloom says.
