DT38 FOUNDATION
(UK, 1160269) Browse events
YTD Raised: £2,241.00
Who are we? The DT38 Foundation has been set up in memory of Dylan James Tombides. Dylan was an Australian International and West Ham United professional football player who passed away aged 20 in April 2014 after a 3 year battle with testicular cancer. The West Ham Family thought so highly of Dylan that they retired his number 38 and made DT38 one of their principal charities. The charity has been formed as a result of Dylan initially being misdiagnosed. Our vision is to change the way testicular cancer is diagnosed by implementing best practice diagnostic guidelines for patients who present with testicular symptoms. We also aim to arm future generations of young men with the necessary knowledge about testicular cancer that will enable them to be confident when taking health matters into their own hands. Our mission is to raise awareness and change the stigma associated with men’s health issues with a focus on testicular cancer. We aim to do this through providing educational programmes and opportunities for the youth of our community, to help shape a generation of children who are self- aware about their health and wellbeing. Our main goals are to: 1. Drive the SELF- AWARENESS campaign for the early detection of testicular cancer 2. Focus on youth EDUCATION through various teaching programme's aligned to national curriculum 3. Provide OPPORTUNITIES linked to fun and accessible activities within the community September 1st 2015 when Premier Colin Barnett and the Tombides family unveiled a bronze statue of Dylan outside NIB Stadium- Perth’s home of football. Both events were extremely momentous occasions and highlight the high regard in which Dylan was held both as a footballer and a person. As we are set up in both the United Kingdom and Australia we work hard to work hand in hand in both locations to deliver our vision. The charity has come about as a direct response too Dylan’s personal story and the current status of testicular cancer awareness in society. We at the DT38 Foundation believe that awareness is the key to addressing this illness. We know that our vision and mission clearly state the changes we plan to bring about in the future. What do we aim to do? Our key milestones in the next 3-5 years are to: awareness about testicular cancer and general health and wellbeing in schools and community organisations. • Develop self- awareness programmes and deliver testicular cancer awareness campaigns in schools and wider community organisations • Work with medical researchers to enhance early detection • Introduce medical screening routines and mobile vans CHILDREN’S PICTURE BOOK AND TEACHING PROGRAMME We will be publishing a children’s picture book and teaching programme in July 2016 in the UK and in September 2016 in Australia. The book has been written in memory of Dylan and the storyline follows his life adventures. The book aims to teach the youth of today of the importance of being resilient when they are faced with challenged in their lives. Other important messages it promotes includes the importance of positivity, love for family and friends, passion for sport, having goals and dreams, respecting people of all cultures, defying the odds, travelling the world, being there for others through difficult times, coping with death, taking care of general health and wellbeing and most of all sharing meaningful experiences with all those who enter your life. These are all attributes Dylan had and simple life lesson people need to be reminded of. Thank you for your Support
