About Movember
Movember is a month-long global initiative to raise funds and awareness about male health issues, including cancer. Participants ( Referred to as MoBros globally and MoChans locally) sport moustaches through the month of November, dumping their shaving razors altogether, or trimming their lip hair into whacky/Sexy styles.

The goal of Movember is to “change the face of men’s health.”The state of men’s health is in a crisis. Simply put, men are dying too young. Gender is one of the strongest and most consistent predictors of health and life expectancy. For men, this is not good news.

Men lack awareness about the very real health issues they face, have an attitude that they have to be tough -“a real man” and are reluctant to see a doctor about an illness or to go for regular medical checks.

On average, across the world, men die 6 years earlier than women. Moreover, suicide affects men more than women: three quarters of suicides are by men. The World Health Organisation estimates that 510,000 men die from suicide globally each year. That’s one every minute.

The impact of prostate and testicular cancer on lives is substantial, with prostate cancer being the second most common cancer in men worldwide and the number of cases expected to almost double to 1.7 million cases by 2030.

The aim of Movember is to change this attitude, make male health fun by putting the Mo (moustache) back on the face of fashion and in the process raise some serious awareness for men’s health issues.
And of course, it is amazing fun.

Movember knows what works for men. They are transforming the way research into men’s health is done, and the way health services reach and support men. Movember’s strategy is all about going where men need us most.

Movember does not take government funding, so they can challenge the status quo and invest quicker in what works.
They report on every initiative they fund so you can see the effect your donations are having.Thanks to the support of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas we’ve funded more than 1,200 projects saving and improving the lives of men all around the world. Since 2003, Movember has committed to helping men live happier, healthier, longer lives. Millions have joined them.By 2030 we’ll reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25%.

The world is doing its part and its time for us to join the race. Mochan’s Movember is going to be a month long campaign with amazing activities.To name a few..
