What's Going on this Movember?

10/11/2020

0 Comments

 
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.

Mental health problems have become exacerbated by the pandemic, especially among young men. Let’s do our part to help promote mental health by committing to a 5km run or another form of exercise. We simply ask that you donate at least £5 to support Movember. Research and lifesaving support focusing on Men's mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer, let's do it for the men in our lives! Please set a good example by following all the government recommendations – stay solo, stay local and keep your distance from others. Whether indoor or outdoor all forms of 5 themed exercises count toward the challenge.
 
At the time of writing (10/11/2020) there are 53 societies and sports clubs involved, 406 people signed up to fundraise, we have hit an epic benchmark of £13,000, and have broken into the top 20 UK University leader board. Thank you so much everyone for your phenomenal work so far! We’ve been absolutely astounded by how much Warwick has raised after only 10 days!

Where will the money go? Here are some of the examples:
