Whatever you think of Lance Armstrong, and around here we've had to make a conscious effort not to hold those trainers against him, there's no escaping the fact that apart from riding a bike and commiting fashion crimes with footwear – he does do some important stuff in the fight against cancer.

That includes funding research through the Livestrong Foundation and indeed other charities channel funding in to Livestrong for just this reason, one such is rubanut.com a new US charity that is trying to raise funds and awareness for the fight against testicular cancer, the one that nearly did for Armstrong himself. The stats about detection rates etc are all US-related, but the advice applies to the all the nuts in the world… so worth taking a look, and having a regular self diagnostic furtle.
