The Movember Foundation

When our razors look brand new for weeks and our shaving cream cans collect dust in our bathrooms, it can only mean one thing, it’s “Movember.” Since 2003, the Movember Foundation has been committed to raising awareness and funds for men’s health.

From 30 guys back in 2003 to the 5 million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas there are today. The movember foundation has raised over $650 million dollars and funded over 1,000 programs that focus on some of the biggest health issues faced by men such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity.

1. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men in the US.
2. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men aged 15-34 in the US.
3. Around 1 in 4 adults in the US will experience a mental health problem in a given year.
4. Around half (53.8%) of American men meet the federal guidelines for physical activity.

To tackle these issues the movember foundation has established their Global Action Plan (GAP), which connects clinicians and researchers from around the world to accelerate health outcomes for men living with prostate and testicular cancer. In 2013, they invested in mental health programs by partnering with the US to develop and implement actionable, community-level prevention plans to improve mental health for men and boys. By 2015 men’s physical health became their newest focus and they began investing in initiatives that encourage physical activity and raises awareness on the dangers of physical inactivity.

As movember approaches decide how you want to help men live happier, healthier, longer lives. Make your move by taking this year’s MOVE challenge or make a statement with your mustache. No matter what you choose to do remember that the movember foundation wouldn’t be where it is without the enthusiasm of all you.

No Shave November

When thinking of “ No-Shave November,” or “Movember,” you might have of trail of thoughts leading to the comments you or your guy friends might have made, like  “it's cold and my beard keeps my face warm,” or “it makes me look like Chuck Norris."

Some may say it’s an excuse for guys to slack in the grooming department or that they're channeling their inner lumber jack.

However, the American Cancer Society is using this idea in a more philanthropic way.

FACT:  More than one million people in the United States get cancer each year. It can strike at ANY age. Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the U.S., which means that it accounts for nearly 1 out of every 4 deaths. (http://www.cancer.org/)

No Shave November

 The American Cancer Society is using No-Shave November this year as a unique way to raise cancer awareness. Hopefully this fundraiser will have an amazing turn out that will propel this event into an annual tradition.

It’s a very clever idea to "grow" awareness with hair. The premise of this is to increase awareness by “embracing your hair, which many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow wild and free.” Donate the money that you would have spent on shaving and grooming for a month to teach cancer prevention, save lives and support those who are fighting this disease. (http://www.no-shave.org/) 

While this seems like something that’s only geared towards men – it’s not. Both men and women are more than welcome to join the cause by making donations. Put that facial hair to good use and donate this year!

Always help spread the word. The accumulation of donations means an increase in resources to prevent and fight cancer.
