Movember is here and we hope your stache is coming on nicely! Apart from men all over South Africa sporting some luscious lip lace, this month holds a much deeper and greater meaning. Movember aims to tackle awareness about prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.
Movember®️ is the leading charity changing the face of men’s health. They know what works for men and what doesn’t, and they’re tackling all of these issues head-on. They’ve funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world since 2003, they’re challenging the status quo, shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men by funding the most innovative research that will have a global and local impact.
There are loads of ways to get involved (it’s never too late).
Whether you have the ability to grow a Mo or not, there are loads of ways to get behind this worthy cause.
