Start with the basics
You might be doing Movember because you’ve experienced a significant health issue, or because you know someone who has. Maybe you’re growing or moving to support your friends, or because you like having fun for a good cause.Whatever your reason, talking about your motivation for supporting Movember is a great icebreaker to get the conversation started.
Drop some knowledge
The state of men’s health is in crisis, but we’re working to change that. The Movember Foundation funds world-class programs fighting prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity – that’s a pretty good reason to get involved.Knowing the facts helps people understand the importance of supporting the Movember Foundation to change the face of men’s health:
- 1 in 7 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime
- Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men aged 15-34 years
- 87 American men take their life by suicide every day
- Approximately 3.2 million deaths each year are attributed to insufficient physical activity
