Hey you! The Moustache is calling… Will you answer?
It’s that time of year again, pretty soon statement facial hair will be out in force and we can’t wait to see all the Good, Bad and Ugly moustaches Movember will bring!
When Movember kicked off 21 years ago it sparked a movement that’s been changing the face of men’s health in Ireland ever since.
Movember, proudly supporting men across Ireland, brings people together from all walks of life – igniting vital conversations, raising much-needed funds, and breaking the silence on men’s health issues such as mental health, suicide, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.
How To Get Involved
Because of your support, Irish men are living healthier, longer lives and there are heaps of ways to get involved with Movember.
GROW: Whether it’s a mighty moustache or a patchy effort, even crap moustaches spark conversations. Grow your Mo, raise funds, and save lives.
MOVE: Run or walk 60km for the 60 men we lose to suicide every hour, worldwide. Step up for men’s health.
HOST: Throw a Mo-ment – whether it’s a coffee morning or a five-a-side match – and raise funds for men’s health.
MO YOUR OWN WAY: Want to do something different? Mo Your Own Way! Take on any challenge that gets people talking – climb a mountain, shave your head, or do something completely wild.
Thanks to the incredible support over the years life-saving projects have been funded right here at home.
Where Does My Money Go?
From groundbreaking biomedical research to creating prostate cancer registries, and bringing Movember’s Ahead of the Game mental health program to young GAA players, parents, and coaches across the country, Irish men are able to access the support they need, when they need it.
World Mental Health Day falls on the 10th of October every year. This year you can help tackle mental health by signing up to Movember here.
Your donations help make a big difference, such as the Movember Ahead of the Game program, a series of interactive workshops, delivered by current and ex GAA players, teaching young players, parents, coaches, and volunteers to better understand mental health, build mental fitness, and strengthen resilience to deal with challenges in sport and life.
In the last year alone a whopping 4,500 people have gone through the program already in 176 clubs in every county in Ireland.
Sign up here, and help save lives.
You are also invited to join The Mo Show - Campaign Launch 2024 at The Grand Social, Dublin, 23 October 2024. More info here.
