Movember: “Man Up For At Least One Month”
Men are being encouraged to pay extra attention to their health in November, as Movember Bermuda “brings on the growth of the manly [in most cases] moustache, the need to move and a time to know one’s health numbers.”
A spokesperson said, “Across the world, men die an average six years younger than women, and for reasons that are largely preventable. Which means that it doesn’t have to be that way: men can take action to live healthier, happier and longer lives. Each November, Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre provides a fun platform for men to have conversations about their health. Movember Bermuda brings on the growth of the manly [in most cases] moustache, the need to move and a time to know one’s health numbers.
“Trucker, regent, connoisseur or wisp – no matter the shape or style of the MO this MOvember.bm, a man’s face will inspire donations, conversations and real change. More than just follicles on the face, a MO reminds people of the importance of men’s health. While starting the month clean shaven and cultivating growth for 30 days, men can seek financial encouragement from those naysayers around them. All funds raised are invested in men’s health prevention, detection and treatment programmes in Bermuda.”

AXA Man on the Run 5k:

Annual Men’s Health Screening Clinic:
“A free Men’s Health Screening is also being held on November 19, 10 am – 4 pm at the Seventh Day Adventist Church Hall on King Street. This event will have a range of health screening professionals and organisations conducting a variety of health screenings.
“Use your MO, your move and your numbers to raise money to help Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre fund Men’s Health Programmes, providing uninsured and underinsured men in our community access to services offered at BCHC including early prostate cancer testing [prostate biopsies], radiation therapy treatment, as well as community outreach events such as the free men’s health screening.
