Keep Your Eye on the Ball

In the last couple of years you may have noticed some eye-catching posters at football grounds across the country urging men to 'Keep Your Eye on the Ball' a clever play on words aimed at alerting football fans to the risk of male cancers. This, and the fact that several high profile footballers have been diagnosed with a male cancer in recent years has meant that men are being confronted with an issue that many would rather not think about.

But the awareness message is one that can save lives, so the FA and the PFA have joined forces with the Everyman campaign at The Institute of Cancer Research to urge men not to die of ignorance.

As part of this years activities we are trying to find out how much men really do know about male cancers, how informed they are and where they get this information from. To help us with this we have included a short survey below and we would be very grateful if you would take the time to fill this in.
