With the launch of our 18K Executive Set came the start of something awesome. We here at Balls of Steel like to keep it straight up. We don't think it's enough to just talk about raising awareness and funding for TC research. Sometimes you need action. We are doing just that with our 10K For A Cure campaign. The 10K For A Cure campaign is our goal to reach $10,000 in funding for Testicular Cancer initiatives through the MD Anderson Cancer Center.
