Movember!

Movember is an annual event in November that involves growing a moustache to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. It is a global movement that encourages people to start conversations about men’s health and take action to help men live longer, healthier lives.  

  • What it is:   An annual charity event held each November. 
  • How it works: Participants grow a moustache to raise awareness and funds for men’s health. 
  • Focus areas: Movember focuses on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. 
  • The name: The event’s name is a portmanteau of “mo” (the Australian word for moustache) and “November”.
  • How to get involved: You can participate by growing a moustache or supporting those who do through donations and by getting involved in other ways to raise funds and awareness. 
  • Support: The Movember Foundation provides resources, including information on men’s health issues and links to support services.
