Men’s health charity Movember has joined forces with the QIPCO British Champions Series as part of a new campaign to raise awareness over testicular cancer.
The charity becomes the first ever official charity partner of the flat racing series.
To mark the partnership, three of Great Britain and Ireland’s brightest young jockeys in Oisin Murphy, Charlie Bishop and Tom Marquand have stripped off for Movember’s 'Know Thy Nuts' campaign – designed to inform and educate young men about their risk of testicular cancer.
The campaign coincides with April's Testicular Cancer Awareness Month.
The partnership will seek to raise awareness of these issues amongst race fans and the hundreds of thousands of people who follow QIPCO British Champions Series each year, as well as contributing to Movember’s vital fundraising efforts.
Rod Street, Chief Executive of British Champions Series said, “We are proud to partner with such an important charity as Movember.
"The issues that Movember addresses touch all our lives – whether it’s related to a brother, son, father, friend, husband or partner who has been affected by cancer or mental health issues.
"Through this partnership, which is the first of its kind for QIPCO British Champions Series, we will be supporting Movember’s vital work in tackling the biggest health issues facing men and in raising awareness to help stop men from dying too young.”
