Movember: Help Me Raise Funds For Prostate Cancer

Personal Stuff, Philanthropy TrackBack URL

During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I’m growing a Mo. That’s right I’m bringing the back the moustache I used to have in my younger days to help tackle men’s health issues and be proactive in the fight against prostate cancer. You can sponsor me by clicking here.

What is Movember?

Movember is a moustache growing charity event held across the globe during November each year.

At the start of Movember guys register with a clean shaven face. The Movember participants then have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache and along the way raise as much money and awareness about male health issues, in particular prostate cancer as possible.

Which ever way we look at it, men are far less healthy than women.

Why?

Men lack awareness about the very real health issues they face. There is an attitude that they have to be tough - “a real man” - and are reluctant to see a doctor about an illness or go for regular medical checks.

Movember aims to change these attitudes and make men’s health fun by putting the Mo back on the face of fashion and in the process raise some serious funds for key men’s health issues including depression and prostate cancer.

Prostrate Cancer – The Facts

In the UK: Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK with 35,000 men diagnosed every year. 1 in 11 UK men will be diagnosed in their lifetime.

In the US: Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in the US with one in six American men developing the disease and more than 28,000 men dying of the disease every year.

In Canada: Every year around 24,700 Canadian men are diagnosed with prostate cancer and about 4,300 die of the disease, making it the number one cancer threat to Canadian men.

In Australia: Every year 2,900 Australian men die from prostate cancer and over 18,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.

In Other Countries: The rates of prostrate cancer continue to grow in every continent across the world

Where does the money go?
The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men’s health issues and donated to The Prostate Cancer Charity which will have an enormous impact on many men’s lives and the awareness will help us to fight prostate cancer on every front - through research, support, information and campaigning.
