Founder of DT38 and Dylan’s mother Tracy Tombides says, “the most important aim for us as a charity is to ensure that we are educating the youth of today to take their health into their own hands and to equip them with the necessary knowledge about testicular cancer to know what to do if they present with any symptoms. Early detection of testicular cancer can be the different between life and death and as a parent who has lost a child to this horrific disease, I urge as many men to get along to this free screening and to digest the information that DT38 is sharing about the important of self-checking and early detection of testicular cancer.”

Our mission is to raise awareness and change the stigma associated with men’s health issues with a focus on testicular cancer. We aim to do this through providing educational programmes and opportunities for the youth of our community, to help shape a generation of children who are self-aware about their health and wellbeing.

“A hugely popular figure among his teammates, coaches, backroom staff, supporters and opponents alike, Dylan was loved and respected throughout the football community. Dylan was already a star. What he achieved in his 20 years was astonishing, but we also knew that he had the potential to go on and accomplish even greater things. This book will ensure that the stars of the future have the opportunity that Dylan, tragically, was robbed of, to fulfil their potential.”
