‘Mustaches and mental health’ Movember wraps up around B.C.

217,0000 men in Canada have been diagnosed with prostate cancer

Movember, a month-long initiative to promote physical and mental health in men, finishes today (Nov. 30).

The first Movember started in Australia in 2003, according to Movember.com and has raised over $749 million for men’s health projects since its inception.

Movember encourages men over the month of November to grow mustaches and carry out fundraising for men’s health.

One of the big goals is to increase awareness around male suicide, which is the second-leading cause of death for men aged 15-34 behind car crashes.
