Saving lives with a scrotum-shaped hot air balloon

Hoping to increase men's awareness of testicular cancer, MCAC (Male Cancer Awareness Campaign) has joined forces with actor Chris O'Dowd to help raise funds to create a giant, floating ball sac.

The 'Sky Balls' would help get the message out that testicular cancer does not have to be fatal, if caught in time.

To get the sac up and running, MCAC is hoping to collect £100,000 through crowdfunding at IndieGoGo.

"This enormous billboard in the sky has a lifespan of over a decade." the group explains. "It can, and will, travel across the world. And we hope it will deliver its vitally serious message from above in a way that will bring plenty of smiles and editorial coverage on the ground."
