Globally one man takes his own life every minute of every day. November has in
recent years started to be known as Movember, with men growing moustaches
to raise money for men’s health awareness. That initiative is still ongoing but now
you can also commit to walking or running 60km over the month. That’s 60km for
the 60 men we lose each hour, every hour – the men who should still be here
today. You don’t have to be an ultra-athlete, just put one foot in front of the
other and you’ve already made a start. For more information - Movember.com
