So for us ladies, growing a moustache is far from easy (thank goodness!) For men, it is super easier, all they need to do is reduce their shaving commitment and this supports men's health!
I am, of course, talking about Movember - the annual in support of men's health, where men basically spend a month growing a moustache, comparing moustaches, collecting donations, raising awareness for men's health issues, celebrating the end of Movember and shaving off their epic moustaches at the end!
You can sign up for Movember here: http://au.movember.com/?home or jump on and check out some pages, make a donation and get in the Mo Growing Spirit.
It really is a great cause, not only the raising money part, but it gets our men talking about their health, both physical and mental. Plus, I have come to realise that the Mo Bro's are a real community, the Mo Bro's I know all manage to find a bunch of new people to talk to - the Mo is a great ice breaker, everyone can see who is doing it and get involved.
More on the Campaign here:
Campaign Strategy & Goals:
We will get men to grow moustaches and the community to support them by creating an innovative, fun and engaging annual Movember campaign that results in:
• Funds for men's health program investment
• Conversations about men's health that lead to:
- Greater awareness and understanding of the health risks men face
- Men taking action to remain well
- When men are sick they know what to do and take action
Program Goals:
Living with and Beyond Cancer
Men living with prostate or testicular cancer have the care needed to be physically and mentally well.
Staying Mentally Healthy, Living with and Beyond Mental Illness
• Men are mentally healthy and take action to remain well
• When men experience mental illness they take action early
• Men are not treated differently when they experience a mental illness
Men's Health Research
We will fund innovative research that builds powerful, collaborative teams that accelerate:
• Improved clinical tests and treatments for prostate and testicular cancer
• Improved physical and mental health outcomes for men
Thanks for doing this blog & i hope it helps attract more female support. I have done Movember roughly 4 out of the last 5 years & i highly reccomend to every guy out there to give it a go & girlfriends/wives to get amongst it also. If lookin funny or feeling itchy for one month out of a year is all it costs to raise awarness & donations for Cancer and depression research then i say suck it up as one day if it may affect you or someone you love.
ReplyDeleteThank you lazza33 for raising money. There is so much money needed to research and find a cure, and every single person who takes action to raise money is a hero in my eyes!
