Each year in November, the Movember Foundation is responsible for the moustaches on millions of men’s faces around the world and in South Africa to raise funds and create awareness for prostate and testicular cancer.
The Movember Foundation has partnered with its health partners, CANSA, the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the South African Depression and Anxiety Group to formulate local programmes to help men in the country. These are currently in the planning phases and aim to give men the support they need to take the burden off the governmental health system.
“This year the theme is Shaped by Experience with the underlying message that if you choose to live well and follow a healthy lifestyle and pay attention to the warning signs, you can help shape your future,” said Garron Gsell, CEO and founder of the Men’s Foundation.
The rules of Movember requires that each Mo Bro starts with a clean shaven face at the beginning of November and then grow and groom a moustache for the entire month, effectively becoming a walking, talking billboard for the 30 days of Movember.
It encourages men to become Mo Bros by signing up on www.movember.com. or download the Movember app on your mobile device. Follow Movember on social media: @MovemberRSA on Twitter or facebook/MovemberSouthAfrica.
