November Charity: Supporting Men’s Health with Movember
Let’s face it—men are dying too young, but we can change that. This November, we’re thrilled to support Movember as our charity of the month! Some of our ProQuest team members are growing their mos to back the cause, and we’d love for you to jump in and join the fun.
Movember Statistics: Did you know?
1 in 10 men
don’t feel confident about understanding their own health.
Men in Australia are
3x
more likely to die by suicide than women.
When it comes to seeking help, most men delay visiting the doctor:
- 60% wait more than 7 days after symptoms appear,
- 34% wait over a month, and
- 9% wait more than two years.
What’s Movember All About?
Movember kicked off here in Australia in 2003 to tackle men’s health issues like prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. It’s now a global movement funding over 1,320 projects that make a real difference in men’s lives. Movember breaks down barriers to get men the support they need, exactly when they need it.
Why Grow a Mo?
Growing a mo gets people to start talking. When people see your mo, they ask questions, get curious, and—just like that—you’re spreading awareness about men’s health. And for Mo Sistas, your support is just as powerful! Whether you’re fundraising, spreading the word, or joining the Move challenge, every effort shows that men’s health matters.
With the help of over 5 Million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas worldwide, Movember has helped transform men’s health. This November, join us—whether you’re growing a mo, moving for mental health, or donating to the cause, you’re helping to create a healthier, happier future for men everywhere. It’s a small act that sparks big change.
