In 1996 Torsten Koehler was diagnosed with testicular cancer. At the time he was in his early 30s and teaching sex education to young teenagers. After his diagnosis, he was shocked to find out how rarely spoken about testicular cancer was. There seemed to be a stigma attached to it, which leads to it remaining undetected in males aged 15-38. Torsten was determined to break the cycle and so began an emotional journey of survival. It eventually led to him beating cancer and starting the Love Your Nuts<\/strong><\/a> foundation.<\/p>\n

Since then the foundation has grown from strength to strength with Torsten relentlessly leading the charge through education, and charity drives like the Nuts & Bolts rally.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This year we\u2019ll be hitting the dirt in our vintage Land Rover, Thirsty, to take on one thousand kilometres of hard roads over four days. We\u2019re very proud to announce that Cape Brewing Company have generously sponsored Thirsty and made a donation to the foundation. We\u2019d also like to thank \u00a0Roverland<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0for getting Thirsty in shape, and TJ\u2019s Lekker Braai<\/strong><\/a> for supplying wood and charcoal for the road. The rally sets out this Saturday with over fifty vintage cars in convoy.<\/p>\n
