Movember isn't just about moustaches – it's about way more than that.
We all have dads, brothers, partners and mates we care about. But still, too many men are dying too young from causes that are mostly preventable. From mental health issues like loneliness and suicide, or cancers like prostate and testicular, Movember is working to change the face of men's health.
It's not just a men's issue, it's a human one. Because we all have men in our lives that we love.
That’s why Movember exists - to change the face of men’s health, for good.
From grassroots community programs to game-changing global research. Movember has funded over 1,300 projects around the world since 2003.
In Ireland, €2.5million has been invested with UCD in prostate cancer research which follows men from diagnosis to treatment. It improves their care, treatment and quality of life.
As well as that, over 10,000 young players, parents and coaches have taken part in Movember Ahead of the Game with the GAA and GPA, giving them the tools to talk about mental health and build mental fitness. Already delivered in all 32 counties, it’s changing the culture around mental health on and off the pitch for the next generation.
And that’s not all.
