In support of the event, over a hundred individuals descended on the car wash. Some people shaved their hair, and some people sprayed their hair.
Movember, a men’s cancer awareness month, was created since it is often forgotten that men may also contract the fatal cancer virus.
Charis Pretorius, a cancer survivor who was part of the event said: “We must recognize that guys can get cancer, too. Men are equally as likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer as women are to die from it.
“Cancer needs to be made more widely known, and people shouldn’t be frightened to visit a doctor to get tested. Particularly in the case of cancer, early detection can save your life.

“The best course of action is to visit an oncologist, who can determine if you have cancer in any form.
“The best recommendation is to consult an oncologist as early as 35 if cancer is prevalent in your family tree.
“With new blood tests being done, prostate cancer detection is no longer as invasive as in the past,” she continued.
