The Movember Foundation recognizes that the poor state of men's health is largely due to a lack of awareness and understanding of the health issues men face and that men are often reluctant to take action when they do not feel physically or mentally well.

Seeking to change the face of men's health is an ambitious challenge. But it is a challenge that the Movember Foundation is committed to tackling and succeeding through the programs that the Foundation has invested in around the world. As the largest non-government investors in men's health programs in the world the Foundation is uniquely placed to play a significant role in improving the health outcomes of the men that they serve in 21 countries.

The Foundation wants to see significant improvement in the men's health issues they have prioritized - prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health. In addition, the Foundation's key program that spans the men's health spectrum is their Awareness & Education project, which seeks to educate and inform men on health issues men face.

To support the Movember Foundation the Boilermakers are setting up a team to grow moustaches and raise funds to support Movember. Boilermakers are encouraged to join the team and to raise funds for men's health. Please visit the Movember website to learn more by clicking here.
