This year Warwick RAG are taking on the Movember Challenge!
The awesome Movember charity is set up to raise funds and awareness of the men’s health crisis focusing on suicide, testicular cancer and prostate cancer. To put the severity of these issues in perspective: 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer over their lifetime, 44% of men don’t know how to examine their testicles and 3 out of 4 suicides in the UK are men. These issues culminate in men living for six fewer years than women, our mission is to stop men dying too young.
We have some fantastic events lined up which will raise awareness and money to fight against the issues facing men! ITS TIME TO SAVE A BRO.
