Movember
20/11/2006
During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I’ll be growin' a moustache. That’s right we're bringing the Mo' back because we're passionate about changing the state of men’s health.
Male health is a major issue. Did you know:
Men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy of males is 6 years less than females.
Every year in Australia 2,700 men die of prostate cancer – more than the number of women who die from breast cancer.
Depression affects 1 in 6 men…Most don’t seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide. Rates of suicide are more than double the national road toll.
Help us change the face of men’s health by sponsoring our mo's.
Please go to www.movember.com/au/sponsor, enter the team South Dragons and choose your favourite Dragon to sponsor! Then enter your credit card details. All donations of $2 and over are tax deductible.
The money raised by Movember will be used to change the face of men's health by creating awareness and funding research into prostate cancer and male depression.
