Movember: A moustache has never had so much meaning

Now that November has arrived, it has brought with it one of the most original global movements in support of our health (in this case men’s health): Movember.

A decade after it was launched, Movember, a combination of the two words ‘moustache’ and ‘November’ has become an initiative for collective awareness, mobilising thousands of men who, one month a year, let their moustache grow. At the same time, they organise different events to raise awareness all over the world about men’s heath problems, especially prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

Another of the aims of this initiative is to raise funds to help those institutions involved in improving men’s health.

Movember: The OriginToday, Movember is a great movement, which is active in thousands of towns and cities all over the world and is an example of involvement at all levels. However, we need to go back to 2003, when, in Australia, a group of 30 men decided to let their moustaches grow as an original way of supporting a friend who had prostate cancer.

The initiative became bigger after 2004 with the first steps of the Movember Foundation, which, as part of its activities, focussed on raising donations with the aim of tackling prostate cancer in Australia itself.


The current buzz word, MOVEMBER. Want to know more about it? Well read on!

Mo bros and Mo Sistas – who are they?You don’t have to be a man and grow a moustache to be a member of this movement. The Mo Bros are the male members who decide to grow a moustache for the month of November to spark conversation in their immediate circle, which, thanks to the power of social networks, ends up by becoming a great platform for communication.

The Mo Sistas are the women who decide to join Movember and they encourage participation and help in raising funds and driving the different events that take place throughout November forward.A movement that is much more than pure anecdote

Apart from being a platform to raise collective awareness about cancer, its problems and the reality of cancer, we must really stress the amazing ability of Movember to mobilise and to raise funds all over the world.

In 2010, Movember had more than 440,000 people participating and managed to raise funds in excess of 50 million euros all over the world. If we go back to its very beginning, the Movember Foundation has raised a total of 409 million euros, financing more than 800 programmes in 21 countries.

Best Doctors supports Movember and believes it is a great example of how to raise awareness, how to mobilise people and encourage them to participate collectively. We can all try to learn more by visiting movember.com.

Movember in Malaysia - #TheUltimateShaveOff

MAKNA - Majlis Kanser Nasional / National Cancer Council MalaysiaGrow or don a moustache, help spread awareness on prostate and testicular cancer. As part of our continuous effort, MAKNA and Rainbow Team volunteer group have pledged to create awareness and raise funds for financially challenged cancer patients. Prostate and testicular cancer is the focus of our latest three-month awareness and fund-raising campaign, known as MOVEMBER – The Ultimate Shave Off.

Follow our Facebook Page for update at www.facebook.com/theultimateshaveoff or go to Instagram/Facebook #TheUltimateShaveOff and Tweet @maknashaveoff, also;

Visit www.theultimateshaveoff.org for more information.

Funds raised from this campaign will ensure uninterrupted supply of financial assistance, surgical equipment, liquid food supplements, prostheses, and prescribed drugs for poverty stricken cancer patients. Funds will also be used to help young cancer survivors pursue their education by providing them with scholarships.

Movember Malaysia CampaignMOVEMBER is a portmanteau of “Moustache” and “November”. MAKNA is carrying out this campaign to increase awareness and encourage more open and frequent conversation about prostate and testicular cancer that are not getting as much exposure as compared to other forms of cancer. In keeping with the theme of MOVEMBER, the campaign premise is to have men grow their moustache or beard from now until November then have an ‘Ultimate Shave Off’ towards the end of the campaign.

The idea behind this campaign is for men to lend their voice to this cause and create meaningful conversations regarding male cancer awareness by stirring the curiosities of family, friends and colleagues with the growing of facial hair and ultimately shaving it off. MAKNA hopes that this would empower men to speak up about the less-spoken-of male-related cancer instead of avoiding the subject, which could put their well-being at risk.

Radio and TV personalities, in particular MIX FM RJ Rod Montario, ASTRO AWANI anchor Syah Hairizal Kamalul Ariffin and celebrity chef Nik Michael along with popular local celebrities will be growing their moustache and beard, and participating in the Ultimate Shave Off finale on 2 December at the Great Eastern Mall.

Are you ready for challenge? If yes, please drop an e-mail to Mr. Vemanna at [email protected]

Your donation to this fund is a way to make a real impact in the lives of those less fortunate and support the overall mission of MAKNA in providing all possible access to necessary assistance during cancer patients’ treatment and recovery period.
