Movember getting hairy
Have you noticed the buzz around campus already this Movember as hair bursts from faces everywhere, like some beautiful person jumping from a birthday cake to sing your favourite song?
Soon the awkward first days (or weeks) will be over, and hearty mo’s will be the norm (hopefully). Many men are donating their faces to Movember in an effort to raise funds and awareness ofmen’s health issues and to battle prostate cancer. You can get in on the action too!
You’ve got many options to give:
There are many groups on campus registered with Movember head office, allowing you to give online (and/or join the team of your choosing):
Nipissing University,
The Nipissing University Tech-Mos,
B.Ed at Nipissing U,
Nipissing University Residence, or
Nipissing/Canadore Movember.
AND!!!!!You can give heartily to casual Friday on Movember 18.
Since its humble beginnings in Melbourne Australia, Movember has grown to become a truly global movement inspiring more than 1.1 Million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas to participate, with formal campaigns in Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, the UK, Finland, the Netherlands, Spain, South Africa and Ireland. In addition, Movember is aware of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas supporting the campaign and men’s health cause across the globe, from Russia to Dubai, Hong Kong to Antarctica, Rio de Janeiro to Mumbai, and everywhere in between.
In 2010, nearly 119,000 Canadian Mo Bros and Mo Sistas got on board, raising $22.3 million CAD.
No matter the country or city, Movember will continue to work to change established habits and attitudes men have about their health, to educate men about the health risks they face, getting them to act on that knowledge thereby increasing the chances of early detection, diagnosis and effective treatment.
