Movember

We’re taking them all on

Prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention – we’re taking them all on.  Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men.  In the US, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men.  Across the country, there are more than 3 million men living with and beyond the disease. Many are dealing with serious side effects from treatment.  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.
