Riding with purpose: YouTuber’s eight-hour rollercoaster marathon for men’s health

Scott will ride Blackpool’s Big One non-stop for eight hours – a decade after being diagnosed with testicular cancer at age 26.

A popular YouTuber who was diagnosed with testicular cancer will be taking on gruelling challenge to raise awareness of the disease – by riding a 235ft rollercoaster non-stop for an entire day.

On Monday July 21, Scott Bickerton, 36, from Crewe, and his friend Stephen Curwen, 37, will ride the Big One rollercoaster at Blackpool’s Pleasure Beach Resort as many times as possible.

The park opens from 10am until 6pm, meaning Scott and Stephen will be riding the world-famous rollercoaster for eight hours straight, 10 years on from Scott’s diagnosis.

Scott, who runs the Your Experience Guide YouTube channel with 51,000 subscribers, was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2015 at the age of 26. He later found out that the cancer had spread to his kidneys, neck and right lung.

The cancer’s progression meant he needed four operations – two of which were life-threatening specialist surgeries – and nine weeks of intense chemotherapy.

Now, he’s keen to “do his bit” to encourage other men to look after their health, and raise money for testicular cancer charity The OddBalls Foundation.

Scott said: “I'm still here to share my cancer story, but at times I wasn't sure I'd beat it. 10 years later I'm ready to do my bit to spread awareness about this awful illness in collaboration with Pleasure Beach Resort and The OddBalls Foundation.

“Using my YouTube platform I intend to spread awareness about testicular cancer by taking on an all-day rollercoaster challenge. My YouTube audience is over 60 per cent male with a keen interest in rollercoaster and theme park videos, so this is the perfect opportunity for me to raise awareness about testicular cancer to an appropriate audience.”

Scott’s mission is already achieving one of its aims – to encourage men to open up about their health. Since posting the fundraiser to the Your Experience Guide page a few days ago it has been inundated with comments, including some from men also affected by cancer.

Mark Haworth commented: “[I’m] another one who joined the club in 2007. Guys, it’s always important to check yourself and if you find something unusual, go to the docs.”

And Christopher Ames posted: “Coming from someone that has had a couple of big health scares in my lifetime (cancer included as well as a brain tumour) I can’t stress enough the need to be aware of your body and any changes that may take place. If you notice anything no matter how small then go to a doctor. It could save your life!”

Mark Grant added: “Well done guys. I too have had the dreaded testicular cancer and it was horrible as I was only in my early 20s at the time!”

Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men, but is one of the most treatable if it is caught early.

The OddBalls Foundation is a UK charity dedicated to raising awareness of testicular cancer through education, school talks, and free resources to encourage regular self-checking. Information and resources will be available at Pleasure Beach Resort on the day of Scott’s challenge.

BARNSLEY LEADS UK’S LARGEST HOSPITAL OUTPATIENT MOVE WITH NEW TOWN CENTRE HEALTH HUB // Barnsley is delivering the UK’s largest relocation of hospital outpatient services through its pioneering Health on the High Street programme, improving access to health and wellbeing support for thousands of residents.

In partnership with local organisations, work is underway to convert the first floor of the Alhambra Shopping Centre into a modern health and wellbeing hub. The first outpatient appointments will move from Barnsley Hospital to the new town centre site by autumn.

This project is a key part of Barnsley’s wider town centre regeneration, backed by over £60 million from the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, and is setting a national example.
