Movember, 26 days in

Me, November 26th 2022, More nice autumnal colours.

When I started this I meant to take a photograph every 5 days of Movember. For the third time running I am a day late. On 26th November there is a little bit more mo to show for it.

For those who are confused by that opening sentence, Movember is not one of my many typos, it is a campaign to raise awareness of men’s health issues:

  • Men on average die 4.5 years younger than women for largely preventable reasons.
  • Mental health – Globally, we lose a man to suicide every minute of every day.
  • Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men over 45.
  • Testicular cancer is the #1 cancer in young men.

But as well as the awareness of men’s health there is also the question of money,

I am doing this together with a number of other men at Holy Trinity Huddersfield, and there is a giving page set up. Please be generous. If you can’t afford to give or don’t want to give that’s OK. If you think the lowest suggested donation of £20 is too much, or wish to give more than the highest suggestion of £200 you can adjust the amount on the page. Go here.

Please give. But more importantly, raise awareness of men’s health issues.
