Movember: Changing the face of men’s health

You may notice moustaches sprouting on male faces this month. That’s because The Movember Foundation has generated an international awareness in men’s health during the month of November.

Focused on prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health and suicide prevention, the foundation has funded more than 1,200 men’s health initiatives globally without any government grants.

The foundation reports that men die an average of six years earlier than women, but the reasons are largely preventable. By 2030, the foundation’s goal is to reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25 percent. Grow a ‘stache and raise some money.
