THE MOVEMBER FOUNDATION

IS THE ONLY GLOBAL CHARITY

FOCUSED SOLELY ON MEN’S HEALTH

When it comes to their health, too many men don’t talk, don’t take action and die too young.
The Movember Foundation want to help men live happier, healthier, longer
lives through investing in key areas:
PROSTATE CANCER, TESTICULAR CANCER, MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE PREVENTION.

Men’s health is in trouble. all around the world, fathers, brothers and

friends face a health crisis that isn’t being talked about. Men are dying
too young, before their tiMe and for no good reason.

It’s that time of year again, the Movember Foundation’s annual Movember
campaign, which challenges men to grow a moustache, men and women to
get physically active and move, or host a fundraising event – all of which spark
conversations and raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health.

MEN’S HEALTH STATISTICS
• 1 in 7 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 75
• Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men aged 15 - 34
years
• 45% of Australian men will experience a mental health problem at some
point in their life
• 3 out of every 4 suicides are men
• Moving on a regular basis can reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes,
and cancer by up to 50% and lower your risk of early death by up to 30%

The Movember Foundation is the only global charity focused solely on men’s
health. Men and women can be the difference this Movember by donating
or raising critical funds for men’s health by signing up at Movember.com, and
choosing to Grow, Move or Host. Men start Movember 1st clean-shaven and
grow only a moustache for the month, or men and women can commit to
get active and take the Move Challenge or can host an event. Participants get
friends, family, or colleagues to donate to their efforts to change the face of
men’s health.

The Movember community has raised over $850 million and has funded more
than1,200 innovative men’s health projects across twenty-one countries. This
work is helping men live happier, healthier, and longer lives through investing
in these critical areas: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and
suicide prevention. But the work is not done. Be the difference and go to
Movember.com to donate or participate. Together we can stop men dying
too young.
