Reminder that 6 out of 10 suicide victims are men.
Reminder that on average we lose a man to suicide every minute of everyday.
Reminder that more men die of testicular cancer than women of breast cancer yet breast cancer recieves four times as much funding.
Reminder that men are 60% more likely to die of cancer.
Reminder that 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer.
Reminder that you can help bring awareness to all of these things by participating in Movember.
You can participate by simply growing out a moustache to show solidarity.
Or if you aren’t able to grow a mo’, you can move instead. Run, walk, jog or skip 60 kilometres to represent the 60 men we lose to suicide each hour. You can go at it solo or with a team.
Can’t do the above? Host a small get together with your friends or a huge mega party. Just sign up on the Movember website by entering a few wee details and party for a great cause.
Maybe you can’t do any of the above, but maybe you do have some money to spare. Donate instead! You can decide whether you donate straight to the Movember Foundation or a specific team or individual.
Mens health is severly ignored and it has deadly consequences. Please take just one moment of your time to help bring awareness to the silent war so many of our fathers, brothers, uncles, grandfathers, nephews, boyfriends, cousins and friends face.
Anyone can participate in No Shave November. You ladies want an excuse not to shave your legs? Fine, go ahead. But don’t forget what we’re here for!
Stand in support and solidarity of the men who need it!
