With Five We're Looking Alive

Four Mo Stashed Hairiers
Trying to look alive
Al Minnick said he'll shave his stache
And then there were five.

Welcome to the team, Al. It's great that Lynn was so encouraging - a real Mo Sista !

Does Movember Impact Behaviour?

Whilst fundraising is one key part of the Movember mission, raising awareness is equally important if we want to help match the gains seen by the women’s health movement. Each year Movemember organisers carry out a piece of research with Deakin University in Australia, the aim of which is to understand whether Movember is having an impact on behaviour as a result of Mo Bro and Sista participation. The latest results suggest Movember is having a direct and significant impact on both men’s health awareness and behaviour:

• 54% talked about men’s health issues with others, with 30% of those attributing that directly to their involvement in Movember
• 22% did some of their own research into men’s health issues, with 51% of those attributing that directly to their involvement in Movember
• 35% sought medical advice, with 10% of those attributing that directly to their involvement in Movember
• 38% encouraged someone else to seek medical advice, with 20% of those attributing that directly to their involvement in Movember.
