Let’s get moving together this Movember…
We love it that the moustache – in all its glorious styles – has come to represent healthier lives for the men around us. This is Movember. The official month to focus on men’s health, thanks to the charity which launched over 20 years ago to focus on men’s cancers, mental health and suicide prevention. They’ve funded over 1300 men’s health projects since.
We’ve seen plenty of visitors to Halo preparing for the return of their ‘mo’ to show everyone how much the month and men’s health matters. And we know how much working out with others can promote emotional wellbeing, so we’re delighted the charity are inviting us all to run or walk 60km this month to remember the 60 men suicide takes every hour across the globe. You can sign up and download the Movember App here choosing Move. But, while you’re at it, check out their invite to host a fun fundraising event to raise money for their transformative work. Same link as above but this time choose Host.
PS
Did you know that mid Movember (November 19 to be precise) we mark International Men’s Day? More and more organisations (community, business, charities, arts organisations and more) are getting involved each year (some 800 last count) in a day which puts a focus on raising awareness and funds for men and boys’ wellbeing.
