Did you know that on average, men will die 4.5 years earlier than women, and that this is largely from preventable reasons?
◽ Around 10.8 million men are facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis ◽ Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men ◽ Across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides
Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men’s health. They make change by:
◽ Giving men the facts ◽ Changing behaviour for the better ◽ Creating services that work for men ◽ Uniting the brightest minds ◽ Listening to the community and advocating for men
Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men.
We are proud to announce that eight of our colleagues have signed up to the Movember challenge of growing a moustache and raising funds for men’s health.
As we enter the last two weeks of Movember, the office is filled with grumbles of “it’s really itchy” and “but it’s my birthday this weekend, I can’t go out looking like this” but our guys are still hanging in there!
If you’re able to, please make a donation to show your support, we look forward to sharing the end result with you all! 👨🏻👨🏼
