1st Test

Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends face a health crisis that isn’t being

talked about. Men are dying too young. We can’t afford to stay silent.

The state of men’s health is in crisis. Men experience worse longer-term health than women and die

on average six years earlier. Prostate cancer rates will double in the next 15 years. Testicular cancer

rates have already doubled in the last 50. Three quarters of suicides are men. Poor mental health

leads to half a million men taking their own life every year. That’s one every minute.

What can you do during Movember?

Grow you Mo - For 30 days, champion the Mo & raise funds for mens health.

Take the Mo challenge - Challenge yourself to get physically active and raise funds for

men’s health.

Host an event - Get together w ith a Movember event. Make a night of it.
