November is over and so is ‘Movember'
'Movember' is a month long Prostate and Testicular Cancer awareness campaign. This year, ‘Movember’ has raised more funds than ever before, with the UK as the second highest contributor. Up to now, the worldwide campaign has made over £63 million this year.
‘Movember’ is a time when men from all around the world registering at Movember.com with a clean shaven face and over the course of the month growing elaborate facial hair to raise money for men’s cancer.
Year upon year the campaign has steadily raised more and more funds with even famous people getting involved such as Newcastle footballer, Joey Barton.
The website states, “Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November and through their actions and words raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.”
More people are now aware of male forms of cancer, just as much as more well-known awareness campaign, such as ‘Breast Cancer awareness.’
