Donate a Quid for Dylan – Make a Difference Today
This Saturday, 25th April 2026, DT38 Awareness Day returns as West Ham United FC take on Everton FC at the London Stadium. It is a day that means more than football. It is a day of remembrance, education, and action—united by one simple but powerful message:
Donate a Quid for Dylan.
A quid might seem small, but when many come together, it becomes something far greater. If you can afford to, please consider donating £1 (or more if you can) to support the DT38 Foundation and its life-saving work raising awareness of testicular cancer.
You can donate here: https://dt38.org/dt38-awareness-day/
Every donation helps us continue to educate young men and boys, encourage early self-checking, and spread awareness of the signs that too many still don’t know.
Because early detection matters.
Because awareness saves lives.
Because Dylan’s legacy continues through action.
Why Your Donation Matters
DT38 Awareness Day is now in its 12th year—a powerful annual moment where football and community come together in memory of Dylan Tombides, a talented young West Ham United player whose courage and determination continue to inspire change.
Dylan’s story is at the heart of everything DT38 does. His journey, his resilience, and his fight against testicular cancer have shaped a mission that is simple but vital: to make sure more young men understand the importance of checking themselves and seeking help early.
Thanks to ongoing awareness work, the Foundation has already heard from men who were able to detect symptoms early after engaging with DT38 messaging—leading to faster treatment and, in some cases, life-saving outcomes.
That is the real impact of awareness.
A Simple Way to Help
This year, we are asking supporters everywhere to get involved in one simple way:
Donate a Quid for Dylan.
Whether you are at the London Stadium or watching from home, you can be part of DT38 Awareness Day. Your support directly funds education programmes, awareness campaigns, and early detection initiatives that reach communities across the country.
It takes seconds—but it could make a difference that lasts a lifetime.
A Legacy That Lives On
DT38 is proud to stand alongside West Ham United as a Principal Charity Partner, continuing a shared commitment to education, awareness, and prevention.
From the Dylan Tombides Learning Centre at the Academy, to the ongoing support of players, staff, and ambassadors, Dylan’s legacy remains deeply woven into the fabric of the Club. It is a legacy built not only on remembrance, but on action.
On matchday, supporters will also come together for a minute of applause in the 38th minute—a moment to reflect, remember, and recommit to raising awareness.
DT38 Co-Founder Tracy Tombides reflects on the importance of this campaign and the difference every donation can make:
“Every single donation to ‘Donate a Quid for Dylan’ plays a vital part in continuing the work Dylan inspired. If each of us gives just £1, together we can create something powerful—raising awareness, educating young men, and encouraging early checks. It’s that shared effort, pound by pound, that will truly make the difference. And if you’re able to give a little more, your extra support will help us reach even further and save more lives through early detection.”
