Movember is more than just growing a moustache. It's a global movement that aims to change the face of men's health. Every November, men all around the world unite to raise awareness and vital funds for issues like prostate and testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. But it's not just for the guys; anyone can get involved to support this crucial cause.

At MDXSU, we have a dedicated Advice and Wellbeing service along with external resources to help YOU if you’re going through a hard time. 

Did You Know?

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men in the UK, and testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 15-45. Shockingly, three out of four suicides in the UK are by men, and the numbers are rising. But the good news is that much of this suffering is preventable.

Here are some resources to get informed and find support: Prostate Cancer UK and Movember Foundation UK. They provide guidance on early detection, mental well-being, and ways to lead a healthier life.

One of the pioneers of the Movember movement is none other than Adam Garone, the co-founder of Movember. His vision and dedication transformed Movember from a small idea among friends into a global phenomenon. His work has inspired countless men to engage in conversations about their health and take action.

Movember is not only about addressing men's health issues but also celebrating men, their achievements, and their vital roles in our communities and society. Men are fathers, brothers, friends, and mentors, each contributing in their unique way. From groundbreaking innovations to acts of kindness, men have played a significant part in shaping our world. During this Movember, we acknowledge and celebrate the positive impact men make daily. It's a reminder that supporting men's well-being is not just about addressing challenges but also recognizing their strengths and contributions, both big and small, to create a more inclusive and healthier society.

We have a two-day Movember event lined up for you. More details can be found here: https://www.mdxsu.com/events/movember-mental-physical-fitness-days
