| About Bounce Your Balls | Testicular Cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 18-30 but is 99% curable if diagnosed early. Making young men aware that they need to bounce their balls regularly and check for cancer will save lives. |
You can stop rubbing your eyes in disbelief, this is actually true! 42 year old Andy Carr, made his historic jump on Good Friday, and bounced into the record books as the first man ever to sky dive on a Space Hopper. To be honest, he is also probably the first man ever to want to.... The IT consultant from Burgess Hill, West Sussex, hopes his "giant leap for mankind" will help publicise a world record attempt involving 1,000 space hoppers that is due to take place during the Brighton Festival in May. And before you decide he is hopping mad, this is all in a good cause. The "parabounce" will hopefully raise £1,000 for the Orchid Cancer Appeal and both events are part of the Bounce Your Balls For Cancer campaign.
The campaign encourages men to do daft things with Space Hoppers as a way of raising awareness of testicular cancer. Bounce Your Balls founder, Glen Poole from Hurstpierpoint, West Sussex,
said: “Jumping out of a plane with a Space Hopper is probably one of the daftest things anyone has ever done. But it’s a fantastic way to remind men that they need to bounce their balls for cancer on a regular basis.” The Bounce Your Balls For Cancer World Record Attempt for the most people bouncing on Space Hoppers will take place on Hove Lawns, on Brighton & Hove seafront, on Monday 28 May at 12 Noon Anyone who wants to help bounce the previous record of 551 people into the history books can buy a ticket to take part from the Brighton Dome box office on 01273 709709 |
