Movember is all about raising awareness of men’s health. It is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men’s health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, penile cancer and men’s suicide.
Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men.
The library here at the Christie has a wealth of resources on the subject of cancers which are common in men.
