Woody & Kleiny Supporting Prostate Cancer UK With Road Trip Across America
Global creators Woody & Kleiny are heading across America for In A State — a 39-day live-streamed bus journey during the summer of football in a major fundraising and awareness drive for Prostate Cancer UK.
Every moment of the trip with Woody and Kleiny, who have a social media following of more than 50 million, will be streamed live on Kick and TikTok 24 hours a day across all 39 days.
The journey begins on 11 June in San Jose, with Woody & Kleiny travelling across America following the tournament atmosphere and England’s progress throughout the summer culminating at the final in New Jersey on 19 July.
At the centre of Woody & Kleiny: In A State is football, but the real focus is people – the stories behind the fans who have travelled thousands of miles from around the world to be there and the shared experiences that only happen during moments like this.
The tour will also shine a light on the reality of life on the road, friendship, exhaustion, humour, connection between men and mental resilience, while showcasing America in all its scale, unpredictability and madness.
Throughout the journey, Woody & Kleiny will also use their platform to encourage more open conversations around men’s health and early detection in support of Prostate Cancer UK.

One man dies from prostate cancer every 45 minutes in the UK, while 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with the disease during their lifetime.
The campaign aims to encourage more open conversations between mates, dads, brothers and sons, while raising awareness and funds to support groundbreaking research into men’s health.
Speaking ahead of their tour, Woody & Kleiny said: “This is the kind of thing you dream about as kids. A bus, the open road, the biggest summer of football in the world and millions of fans all coming together for one unforgettable experience.
“We genuinely can’t wait to experience the energy, the chaos, the people and the moments that only football can create. We want to take everyone watching along for the ride with us and build something that feels bigger than just content.
“But this tour is about more than that. We want to use this opportunity to get more people talking about prostate cancer, encourage men to take their health more seriously and hopefully help save lives along the way.
“If we can entertain people, bring fans together and make even a small difference to somebody’s life or family through raising awareness and funds for Prostate Cancer UK, then that means everything to us.”
Seren Evans, Senior Head of Mass Fundraising at Prostate Cancer UK, added: “We’re so excited to be part of Woody & Kleiny’s football road trip across America, and we wish them all the best as they take on this epic challenge.
“Football brings people together and gets them talking, that’s why you’ll have seen our Man of Men badge on so many managers and players over the years. Now the lads are taking him on tour, kickstarting lifesaving conversations about the most common cancer in men from the bus and encouraging the millions who tune in to do the same back home.
“They’re also adding fundraising to their epic list of challenges, and every pound donated will go towards groundbreaking research, lifesaving campaigning and vital support services for men living with and after prostate cancer.
“This includes research like our £42m TRANSFORM trial, which will find the safest and most effective way to screen all men for prostate cancer, and revolutionise men’s health in the UK.
“We can’t wait to see what the road has in store for them, and we’ll be helping out with a few surprises along the way, so stay tuned!”
