What is Go Nuts November?

Quests and the Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation (TCAF) have teamed up for Go Nuts November, a Community Quest on Quests. Move for 10 minutes every day this November to support TCAF and testicular cancer awareness.

Any form of movement counts. Walk, cycle, dance or stretch at your own pace, then check in.

It's free to join. Quests has pledged to donate $1 to TCAF for every person who joins, up to $20,000.

How it works

Join the Go Nuts November Quest and pick a form of movement. Do it for 10 minutes, then check in on Quests. Photos and notes are optional.

Everyone's movement is their own. Choose an activity and a pace that fit your abilities and energy each day. If you miss a day, check in again the next day and keep going.

The Quest runs from November 1 through November 30, 2026, and it's open to join all month.

What the month looks like

The Quest includes 21 journey messages with facts, tips, prompts and milestones. The first week introduces TCAF and the three pillars of its work: awareness, support and survivorship.

Day 8 points to TCAF Connect, a free app with testicular cancer information and peer connections. Day 11 asks you to share a small win. On Day 13, prepare one small thing to make tomorrow easier, like setting out your walking shoes or your yoga mat.

Three weeks in, make the day's activity a shared one: a walk, an easy stretch or a check-in with someone moving elsewhere. Thanksgiving week keeps it flexible, with a walk after a long drive or a few minutes outside with the people you love. The final days ask what you want to keep doing after the challenge.

On Day 10 and Day 27, the Quest shares a story published by TCAF.

Why testicular cancer awareness matters

TCAF describes testicular cancer as the most common cancer in men ages 15 to 44. The American Cancer Society estimates about 9,810 new cases and about 630 deaths in the United States in 2026. The average age at diagnosis is about 33, and about 1 in 250 males will develop testicular cancer at some point in their lifetime.

The American Cancer Society notes that testicular cancer can usually be treated successfully. The National Cancer Institute's SEER program reports a five-year relative survival of 94.6%, based on 2016 to 2022 data.

TCAF encourages early detection through a monthly self-exam. Its self-exam guide shows the steps and says to contact a healthcare professional promptly if you notice a lump or another change.

The month is also a reason to talk. Tell someone why you're moving this November, share what you're learning and invite them to join.
