And I'm inviting the whole community to take part.” “Every year, Prostate Cancer Gibraltar informs the community of the symptoms of prostate cancer and the crucial importance of an early diagnosis. “It is important for every member of the community, males, females and everyone, to get the support that they need when encountering something like prostate cancer or any other disease or illness,” he said. “Prostate Cancer Gibraltar stands in support of the Gibraltar Health Authority by donating medical equipment and encouraging the introduction of protocols that advocate for early prostate cancer diagnosis,” he added. Mr Ghio thanked the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission for the financial support they give, the GHA for their assistance and to the Prostate Cancer Gibraltar committee for their continuous hard work throughout the year.

While Movember supports several causes, No-Shave November mainly focuses on cancer awareness and prevention.

And in 2017, it received a ranking of 49 out of the top 500 non-governmental organisations worldwide. In addition, men are encouraged to let their beards grow out wild and bigger so that when asked about their new facial hair, they would be expected to explain why they are not shaving – spreading cancer awareness. However, the idea of using facial hair to create awareness started in 2003 when two men, Travis Garone and Luke Slattery, met up for a drink in Melbourne, Australia. Before his death, Hill and his family had already adopted the practice of not shaving during November and donating the expenses usually used on shaving creams and razors to charities supporting cancer research. Hill's eight children started the initiative to raise money for cancer research, where the money that would have otherwise been used for shaving and grooming is donated toward the cause by registering as a participant via the website. No-Shave November began as a Facebook campaign in 2009 by the Chicago-based Hill family after Matthew Hill, the husband and father of the family, died from a prolonged 18-month battle with colon cancer in 2007.

Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men's health on a global scale, focusing on mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Movember is a global health movement of over 6 million men and women focused on positively changing men's behaviors, challenging norms of what it means to be a man and improving the systems and settings that men interact with. In addition to tackling key health issues faced by men, Movember is working to encourage men to stay healthy in all areas of their life, with a focus on men staying socially connected and becoming more open to discussing their health and significant moments in their lives. "What started as a simple conversation sparked by a moustache has transformed into a global health movement that continues to break down the barriers surrounding men's health and create long-term impact," said Mark Hedstrom, Movember's US Country Director. The organization welcomes its celebrated symbol, the moustache, to men's faces everywhere to bring awareness to the global men's health crisis and initiate important conversations to remove the stigma around men's health issues. You've seen them all over the big screen this year and now is the time to grow a Mo to support Movember, the leading global men's health charity, as they kick off their annual campaign to raise awareness for men's mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.

In addition, men are encouraged to let their beards grow out wild and bigger so that when asked about their new facial hair, they would be expected to explain why they are not shaving – spreading cancer awareness. Since then, the movement continued to grow, and by 2017, it had gained over five million participants from 21 countries who participated and donated toward the cause. Hill's eight children started the initiative to raise money for cancer research, where the money that would have otherwise been used for shaving and grooming is donated toward the cause by registering as a participant via the website. There was no immediate intent to raise money for charities when the initiative started, but three years down the line, in 2006, the movement received official charity status from Australia, raising more than $8 million (Sh972 million). No-Shave November began as a Facebook campaign in 2009 by the Chicago-based Hill family after Matthew Hill, the husband and father of the family, died from a prolonged 18-month battle with colon cancer in 2007.

‘You might have had a bad day and don’t want to come home and put that on your family. As a young girl, it was a dream of hers to do one with her dad. When she walked out of a session where students were asked to talk about what they were getting their dads for Father’s Day, she was excluded from school. The first 10 minutes are always the toughest, trying to find that flow, but then I get that feeling of a weight being lifted. In today’s more thoughtful climate, it feels less intrusive to ask her about her experiences. ‘It’s not that being masculine is the problem, and the charity is not asking men to change the way they are, but it’s about being more open,’ she explains. ‘We can speak about mental health in a more positive way. And her town’s local newspaper wrote about her dad’s death with such insensitivity that her family fought to get the article pulled: ‘I feel like a lot of my childhood was robbed of me. Katy Martins was 12 in 2008 when she lost her dad Jim to suicide. ‘When I’m running, a part of me feels like I’m with him.’ When preparing for the marathon, she did her longest training run in the same place. Could I have been a better daughter?

You've probably seen men going a bit hairier than usual in November. Why? Some say No-Shave November, others say Movember. What's the difference?

If you have men in your life who have struggled with other ailments, including mental health issues, grow the ‘stache or get out and push yourself to show them you care. Whether you have a strict dress code at work, have a partner who doesn’t like the look or feel of facial hair, or you hate the itch of growing hair, that doesn’t mean you can’t do your part to fight for the men in your life. For Movember, the rules are to ensure that everyone is dedicated to being good sports by starting in the same place and conducting themselves admirably. Get people to support you and raise money with your sweat and hard work. If you or anyone you know has had prostate cancer, ditch the grooming and donate the money to No-Shave November while growing a wicked-awesome face mane. In 2006, the four co-founders established an official Australian charity, the Movember Foundation, and adopted the slogan “Give Prostate Cancer a Kick in the Arse.” Today, the group focuses on all men’s health, physical and mental, and have created the official tagline “Changing the face of men’s health.” Undeterred, the two founders convinced 30 of their friends to join them in bringing the mustache back. Of course, in the early 2000s, only Tom Selleck and Sam Elliot were allowed to wear lip rugs without the ridicule of their friends.
