I decid­ed to par­tic­i­pate in the dona­tion activ­i­ty Movem­ber. The name is a mix of Mus­tache, Men and Novem­ber. The dona­tion activ­i­ty is col­lect­ing mon­ey for fight­ing typ­i­cal male ill­ness­es, such as prostate can­cer and tes­tic­u­lar can­cer, as well as fur­ther­ing psy­cho­log­i­cal health and sui­cide pre­ven­tion. A very good cause. Vis­it my dona­tion page by read­ing the QR code or click­ing the QR code image.

We stand for:

• Pre­vent­ing sui­cide in men
  Our fathers, broth­ers, sons and friends are dying by sui­cide, every minute of every day.
  We won’t accept this. To make change hap­pen, Movem­ber views men­tal health through a male lens. We focus on ear­ly inter­ven­tion, engag­ing men and work­ing to their strengths. By 2030, we aim to reduce the rate of male sui­cide by 25%.
• Improv­ing the qual­i­ty of life
  Men with prostate can­cer and tes­tic­u­lar can­cer face an uphill bat­tle before, dur­ing and after treat­ment. But with use­ful tools and straight-shoot­ing advice, we aim to light­en their load so these men can live life to the fullest.
• Help­ing men take action
  Glob­al­ly, men die on aver­age 6 years ear­li­er than women, and for large­ly pre­ventable reasons.
  So we’re shin­ing a light on the health risks men need to know about, increas­ing aware­ness to stop men dying too young.
• Team­ing up with great minds
  A cri­sis this size calls for big ideas from the bright­est minds. Movem­ber brings togeth­er the best researchers and experts from across the globe, reduc­ing research over­lap to max­imise brain­pow­er and accel­er­ate progress.

Having an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health.
