Movember: More Than Just a Mustache

November isn’t just another month. It’s Movember — a time when men (and their supporters) grow moustaches, spark conversations, and shine a light on men’s health. Because behind every whisker is a story worth hearing.

Why Movember Matters

Men face several health challenges that don’t always get the attention they deserve:

Mental health & suicide prevention — Globally, men die by suicide at significantly higher rates than women. Many never get the chance to speak up.

Prostate cancer — It’s one of the most common cancers among men. Early detection can make all the difference.

Testicular cancer — Though less common overall, it most often affects younger men. Awareness, self-exams, and early medical attention are crucial.

Movember doesn’t just raise awareness — it raises funds to support research, prevention, and support services. Projects backed by Movember target everything from therapy access and mental health campaigns to better screening methods and cancer survivorship care. 

How You Can Join In

You don’t need a perfectly groomed ‘tache to make an impact. Here are a few ways to get involved:

Grow a Mo – Start November clean-shaven, then let that moustache bloom!

Move for mental health – Walk or run 60 km over the month in honour of the approx. 60 men lost to suicide every hour globally.

Host a Mo-ment – Organise an event, gathering, quiz night, or something fun that brings people together to talk about men’s health and raise funds.

Mo Your Own Way – Use your talents, creativity or networks to raise awareness — art, music, content, challenges… you name it

Donate or support a Mo Bro / Mo Sister – Not growing a ‘tache yourself? Lend your support financially or by sharing campaigns

Why Your Voice Counts

That moustache (or your willingness to talk) can break down stigma. People might ask, ‘Why the Mustache?’ Boom — there’s your opening to talk about mental health, early cancer detection, or checking in on a mate. 

For many men, health concerns go undiscussed until it’s too late. Movember is about shifting that — nudging men to get checked, to open up, to lean on help when needed. 

Let’s Do This Together

As part of the Best You community, you play a role in spreading awareness, breaking taboos, and encouraging men to take care of themselves — physically and mentally.

Here’s to a month of moustaches, conversations that matter, and a healthier future for all men.

Grow, support, speak, care. Any action counts.
