Flannerys gets MOtivated to Raise Funds to fight Prostate Cancer & Male Depression. About Movember

It's not all fun and games, so why the kooky behavior?

Whichever way we look at it, men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy for men is five years less than for women.

Men lack awareness about the very real health issues they face. There is an attitude that they have to be tough - "a real man" - and are reluctant to see a doctor about an illness or go for regular medical checks.

Movember aims to change these attitudes and make men's health fun by putting the Mo back on the face of fashion and in the process raise some serious funds for key men's health issues, because every year 2,900 Australian men die from prostate cancer and almost 19,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.
