Movember - Changing the face of men's health

TA staff get involved with Movember

Peter Brown - QLD Manager

Technical Assessing’s Queensland Manager, Peter Brown, is taking part in Movember.  This involves growing a moustache for the 30 days of November to raise funds for men’s health, particularly the areas of prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health problems. By encouraging men to get involved, Movember aims to increase early cancer detection, diagnosis and effective treatments, and ultimately reduce the number of preventable deaths. Besides annual check-ups, the Movember Foundation encourages men to be aware of family history of cancer and to adopt a healthier lifestyle.

Speaking exclusively to Technically Speaking, Peter commented:

The Movember Foundation commenced operations in 2004. It is an excellent organisation helping to raise awareness and funds to assist in the often neglected area of men’s health.  Since inception the Movember Foundation has raised $580 million and funded over 800 programs in 21 countries.  This year, for the first time, I am hoping to do my little bit to make a small contribution towards this most important initiative.  My only difficulty is that I should have stopped shaving my upper lip in July!

Peter’s goal is to raise $1,000.00 for the Movember Foundation; at press time he was well on the way to achieving this goal.

Rob Winter - Hobart Adjuster

As a man who resides with three women, I feel compelled to participate in fund raising processes directed at men’s health issues.

Consequently, I have again signed up to Movember.

I commence Tash cultivation from 1/11/14.  I’ll put up a photo to evidence progress every couple of days.

Please assist with this worthy cause, by going to the Movember page and dontating, anonymous if you wish - http://au.movember.com/mospace/1794792 Anything you donate will be greatly appreciated.

Please feel free to forward this on – the more raised the better!

The Movember Foundation is the leading global organisation committed to changing the face of men’s health.  Movember is about bringing back the moustache (Mo), having fun and doing good to change the face of men’s health, specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health problems. Mo Bros take action by changing their appearance through the growth of a new moustache for the 30 days of Movember, and in doing so become walking, talking billboards for men’s health. Mo Sistas sign up and commit to supporting the men in their lives while helping to promote men’s health at home, in the workplace and within their community. Get involved! http://au.movember.com/
