The Movember Campaign is the leading charity changing the face of men’s health. "We know what works for men – and what doesn’t."

 

Men’s health is in crisis. Men are dying on average 6 years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons.

Unchecked, prostate cancer rates will double over the next 15 years. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among men aged 15-39 years of age. And across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 75% of all suicides.

Movember is uniquely placed to address this crisis on a global scale. We fund groundbreaking projects all over the world, engaging men where they are to understand what works best and accelerate change.

 

Again please join the Rome Redbacks Movember Team, women are welcome too as you dont have to grow a mo to participate, there are lots of other fun things to do, to bring awareness to Men's Health this Movember.

Footy season on rolling postponement status
