The Movember Foundation is the charity that promotes men’s health. The charity hosts an annual Movember campaign in which men and women raise funds and awareness for men’s health issues through peer-to-peer fundraising on Movember.com.

Using the moustache as the driving symbol of the movement, Movember focuses on the three key areas of prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health & suicide prevention.[1] Since inception, the Movember Foundation has raised $837 million and funded over 1,200 projects in more than 20 countries.[2]

The Movember Foundation is currently ranked the 45th best non-governmental organization (NGO) in the world by NGO Advisor. [3]

History

Movember was started in 2003 in Melbourne, Australia by Adam Garone, Travis Garone, Luke Slattery, and Justin (JC) Coughlin. Inspiring 26 other friends with a desire to “bring back” the trend of growing moustaches, the movement was born. The next year, nearly 500 people raised over $40,000 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. At the time, it was the largest donation the PCFA had ever received.

Causes

While Movember is dedicated to all aspects of men’s health and well-being, its three key focus areas are prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health & suicide prevention.

Prostate Cancer

  • 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime[4]
  • Most common non-skin cancer in America[5]
  • Symptoms:
    • Frequent or painful urination
    • Blood in urine or semen
    • Painful ejaculation
    • Pressure or pain in rectum
    • Weak, dribbling, or interrupted flow urine[6]
  • Screening for prostate cancer should begin in your 40s or 50s[7]

Testicular Cancer

  • Testicular cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in young men (15-34)
  • Symtoms:
    • Painless lump or swelling in either testicle
    • Change in how the testicle feels (size or texture)
    • Sudden build-up of fluid around the testicle
    • Dull ache in the lowe stomach or groin
    • Pain or discomfort near the testicles or groin
  • Self exams of testicles should be administered regularly[8]
  • April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month.[9]
