In the past, visiting the doctor or worrying about your health was not something commonly scene among males. But today in the 21st century, things are changing! With guys now living on average five years less than their female counterparts, men's health issues, namely prostate cancer, heart disease and depression, are starting to be acknowledged.
Despite reductions in heart disease rates in Australia, more men than women suffer from the disease, and if it doesn't kill, it can leaves them with a disability. In Australia last year, 18,7000 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 2900 died from it. And guys aren't as mentally strong as we may think - at any given time, one in six men suffers from depression.
To raise money and awareness about men's health, November is of Movember! Guy's change the face of your health this month, and get involved by growing the best Mo you can throughout the month of November. To congratulate you on your efforts, there will be a Mo Bro bash at the end of the month.
For those of you guys who grow a Mo, you will be called Mo Bro's, and while the females, Mo Sistas, can't participate in the facial hair experience, they can support the cause by getting the boys involved and helping to raise money. All money raised will be donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and Beyond Blue - a national depression initiative.
To be part of the action, follow these 5 simple steps:
- Register your involvement at the start of November. Visit www.movember.com.au
- Start November clean shaven
- Grow and groom your manly Mo throughout the rest of November
- Don't forget to raise some serious moolah along the way
- Then CELEBRATE any way you please. Attend the official Gala Parte in your capital city or hold your own Mo Town Party.
