Moustaches at the ready – it’s that time of year again when Donegal men have a great excuse not to shave for a whole month.
The Movember Foundation has launched its 10th annual charity campaign for men’s health issues in Ireland.
From the first of November onwards, Movember is calling on men and women in Donegal to grow a moustache, host an event or move to raise much-needed funds and awareness for men’s health issues.
In the past ten years, over 100,000 men and women in Ireland have loaned their upper lip or helped to raise funds for the men’s health initiative. All volunteers make a real difference to the lives of the thousands of people affected by prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health issues in Ireland each year.
Movember has funded over 30 prostate cancer initiatives, in partnership with the Irish Cancer Society, ranging from financial grants for patients and their families to ground-breaking research to improve outcomes and quality of life for the 1 in 7 Irish men who will get prostate cancer in their lifetime.
Neil Rooney, Movember Country Director, said: “If you haven’t grown a Mo before, now is the time. If you have, ditch that razor, put your lip to work again and help men live happier, healthier, longer lives!”
To help Movember continue their ongoing work you can sign up and get involved or make a donation on Movember.com.
