Cantley, who calls himself Ballsy, was diagnosed with stage III testicular cancer in 2009.
When he eventually sought medical help he was told the cancer had already spread to his lymph nodes, and, if remained untreated, would spread through his body and to his brain.
Here he is explaining his awareness campaign.
Cantley says his cancer has given him a purpose and he now wants to connect with youth to educate and inspire them.
So last month he embarked on an epic journey: to push a 6ft inflatable ball from Los Angeles to New York.
