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.
According to the November website men’s health is in crisis. Men are dying on average six years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons. Unchecked, prostate cancer rates will double over the next 15 years. Testicular cancer rates have already doubled in the last 50. And across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 75% of all suicides.
Movember is uniquely placed to address this crisis on a global scale. The charity funds groundbreaking projects all over the world, engaging men where they are to understand what works best and accelerate change.
We know how community-minded autobody repairers are and that lots of you will be raising money for Movember this month. Send us your photos and a link to your fundraising and we'll promote your Mo to the industry so those who aren't growing a Mo can choose to support your Mo effort. Plus editor's choice here, I'll donate $100 to the best Mo pic I receive this month.
Send your pics and links to samstreet@yaffa.com.au and make the subject Movember.
