Movember 2012-Charity raising funds for Prostate Cancer

[theelanman]

It is a sad fact that men's health has too long been neglected as an issue, both in terms of investment in research, survivorship and awareness. Prostate cancer has certainly been subject to this legacy of neglect and Movember is a massive part of helping redress the balance and put men's health firmly in the spotlight.

Let’s face it, men are known to be more indifferent towards their health, especially when compared to the efforts of women, who proactively and publicly address their health issues in a way not traditionally seen with men. As a result, today the levels of awareness, understanding and funding for support of male health issues, like prostate cancer, lag significantly behind causes such as breast cancer.

Movember aims to change the face of men’s health and reverse this way of thinking by putting a fun twist on this serious issue. Using the moustache as a catalyst, we want to bring about change and give men the opportunity and confidence to talk about their health more openly.

I have a Movember page and there is a donations link if you feel so inclined

thanks
