It’s never too late to donate | The Movember Foundation #Movember

With 1 out of 8 men currently suffering from prostate cancer in Canada, it should come as no surprise to learn that it’s the most common cancer in Canadian men. With the incidence of prostate cancer set to double in as little as 15 years, now has never been a more crucial time for men to band together and grow their mo’s for the love of their bros.

This November marked the 10th anniversary of the Movember Foundation in support of men’s health. And while the push to generate awareness of prostate cancer was at the foundation of the charity’s core, the past decade has seen their focus expand to become an overarching umbrella for all of men’s health — and here’s why:

  • In Canada 3 out of 4 suicides are men, and each day 8 Canadian men die by suicide.
  • Globally, more than 500,000 men take their own life every year. That’s one every minute.
  • Testicular cancer rates have doubled in the last 50 years.

Although November has come to an end, there are ways to participate all year round:
1. Shop and rock the Mo Collection!

The Movember Foundation created a ton of amazing accessories and clothing items that you can shop. The proceeds of the sales go to help power the Movember foundation in continuing to do amazing things, all while getting those who wear it to look sharp and help raise awareness. Additionally, the Movember Foundation has partnered with a few brands to create special gear for Movember.
