Fact of the Month:
Did you know? Despite being most prevalent in males aged 15-45, there have been reported cases of testicular cancer in infants and the men in their 90s. This is the reason we continually say just be aware of the basic facts, check yourself & see your GP if you notice anything is different down there.

A Huge DT38 Success on the Fairways
The DT38 UK Golf Day 2026 was a huge success, bringing together DT38 supporters, friends and former Hammers for a brilliant day of golf, fundraising and friendship.

A huge thank you to E13 Events for organising another memorable day, and to Langdon Hills Golf & Country Club for being such a great host.

DT38’s Italian Job in Perth
DT38 was proud to take part in the Calcio Italiano Parade on 5th August at Optus Stadium in Perth, Western Australia, ahead of the AC Milan v Inter Milan clash. It was a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of DT38 and our message to a huge football audience, with the team also taking part in a special pitch-side lap inside the stadium. A memorable day and another great opportunity to take the DT38 message to the football community in Australia.
Tony Gale Joins the DT38 Family as a Patron
We’re delighted to announce that West Ham icon Tony Gale has become a DT38 Patron. A hugely respected former Hammer and firm favourite among supporters, Tony has been a great supporter of DT38 and the work we do to raise awareness of testicular cancer. We’re incredibly grateful to have “Galey” on board and look forward to working with him as part of the DT38 family.

DT38 Picture of the Month
This month’s DT38 Picture of the Month winner is none other than Ruben, Dylan Tombides’ little cousin! It seems we may have been completely powerless against this level of adorableness and cuteness – Ruben’s picture was simply too cute to ignore! There’s no prize attached to the competition, just the honour of taking the title and, of course, bragging rights. Congratulations, Ruben – you’re our latest Picture of the Month star!
