More Balls Than Most
Our Story
More Balls Than Most is the brother charity of PinkDrive. MBTM’s focus is Prostate and Testicular Education and Awareness.
We’re on your side guys. We’re dedicated to promoting awareness about the importance of early detection of prostate and testicular cancer!
Prostate cancer is the leading cancer in males and more than 4000 men are diagnosed annually in South Africa. By encouraging your family, friends, colleagues and associates to get tested early, you may be saving the lives of those you know. We believe there is great hope as in the past two decades most men have survived prostate cancer and a continual diagnosis and early treatment can have an even bigger impact.
Testicular cancer is the most common malignancy of males aged 15 – 35 years and the incidence of testicular cancer is on the increase in South Africa. However, there is hope for South African men who are informed of the disease as more than 90% of all patients with testicular cancer are cured.
Prostate cancer affects 1 in 6 men and is the second most common cause of cancer death in men in the USA and the UK. Early prostate cancer is often completely asymptomatic and men over the age of 50 are therefore encouraged to undergo yearly prostate checks for early detection of the disease.
PinkDrive (Section 21) is addressing the prostate and testicular cancer issue in South Africa by embarking on an awareness and fundraising campaign, the Prostate and Testicular Cancer Education and Awareness Campaign.
Our Flagship Programmes
PinkDrive has four principal interventions through its flagship programmes, PinkDrive and More Balls Than Most, channelled through mobile point-of-contact service delivery by skilled certificated medical/nursing practitioners, namely:
- Clinical Breast Exams: A mass screening service provided to woman and men of all ages. This service includes one-on-one cancer education focusing on self-examinations as well as a breast examination.
- Mammograms: A select screening service primarily provided for woman over the age of 40, unless they are referred for a mammogram by a Doctor.
- Pap Smears: Cervical Cancer Screening.
- Prostate Specific Antigen Test (PSA): These tests are a form of rapid testing for men above the age of 40 years old. These tests are administered by testing an adequate sample of blood taken from a subject.
Prostate and Testicular Cancer Awareness and Education
At all activations, More Balls Than Most sets up information booths and supplies information flyers to educate the public about Prostate and Testicular Cancer.
Indigent and medically uninsured woman and men are the primary beneficiaries of PinkDrive NPC’s commitment. Citizens living in rural, township and semi-urban geographies across South Africa, are of highest priority. Beneficiaries who can afford payment for the service, are charged an approved nominal amount, which in turn funds the services to the indigent and medically uninsured beneficiaries.
