Vice President (Welfare) Callum Young has joined forces with RAG to challenge you to our biggest charity fundraising event ever!
We have entered Movember's 'Big Moustache on Campus' challenge and we need you to get involved to reach our fundraising target of £10k.
Callum Young encourages everyone to get involved:
Movember is a fantastic charity that promotes testicular and prostate cancer awareness, as well as men's mental health and suicide prevention. Since 2003, Movember has funded over 1,250 men's health projects around the world, shaking up men's health research and transforming how health services reach and support men.
They improve overall mental health and help men build stronger social connections, which can reduce the risk of suicide. Movember collaborates with our global men's health partners to break new ground in addition to funding critical biomedical research. They are also making great strides in testicular cancer support, from medical research to user-friendly digital resources.
The Movember charity is very close to my heart, I started raising money for them 3 years ago and I have done so every year since. They do so many different challenges such as growing a moustache or running/walking/swimming/cycling 60km within the month for the 60 men we lose to suicide every hour. I can only encourage you to get involved with this, the cause is great and as a side bonus, it could also help you get fitter!
If you can't grow a moustache, don't worry! You can still get involved in 'Move for Movember'. Run or walk 60k for the 60 men we lose to suicide every hour across the world.
How to get involved? It's really easy to get started. All you need to do is find a team (if you are in a Sports Club or Society - perfect!) or compete as individual, nominate your captain, and download the Movember app! From here you can set up and join your team, set your individual targets and start raising money. To raise the stakes, we are offering prizes for the teams who raise the most and who travel the most distance. Join the challenge here: https://uk.movember.com/mospace/network/view/id/50312?mc=1
