It's Almost Movember

I love supporting Movember, it's such a great way to draw attention to men's health and, more importantly, get men talking about their health.
Surprisingly, men have a 14% higher risk of developing cancer than women and a 37% higher risk of dying from it!  Some of the reason for the poor state of men’s health are the lack of awareness and understanding of the health issues men face.  Men don't openly discuss their health and how they’re feeling and very often there's a reluctance to take action when they don’t feel physical or mentally well.  And, of course there's still a lot of stigma surrounding mental health.

Thankfully the Movember Foundation are trying to change that by funding programs which will improve the lives of men around the world.  So hopefully we can move towards a reduced mortality from prostate, testicular cancer and men’s suicide and  men and boys understanding how to be mentally healthy and taking action when they experience mental health problems.
So whether your a girl who wants to support the men in her life by becoming a MoSista, or a man who wants to have a bit of fun and raise some money,  sign up to Movember today at  www.uk.movember.com  and start growing your Mo from the 1st November.
