Movember – Mehr als nur ein Schnurrbart

Movember – More than just a moustache

Hey, have you heard of “Movember”? No, that's not a typo or a Hollywood trend - "Movember" has been a movement with a real mission for years! Every November, men around the world grow their mustaches to make a statement. Sounds strange at first? Perhaps. But there is a really important message behind this hairy affair.

Why “Movember”?

Movember is the perfect mix of “November” and “Mo”, short for “mustache”. Since 2003, the “Movember Foundation” has been ensuring that men worldwide become aware of the issue of men's health - not only on a physical level, but also mentally. Because let's be honest: Men don't like to talk about their health and especially not about mental stress, right? Movember is an invitation to break the silence - and what better way to do that than with a cool mustache?

What is the collection for?

Movember is committed to the prevention and research of diseases such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health. And all in a way that's fun and easy to support. The Foundation has already raised millions for projects that help men - whether through better prevention programs, education or support for those affected.

Here's how you can join in!

Now let's butter the fish: it's so easy to take part! Either you grow a chic “mo” yourself and collect donations – and it doesn’t matter whether you’re more of a “cowboy style” or a “gentleman” type. The main thing is that you stand up for the cause. Don't you have a beard? No problem! There are countless Movember events or running challenges you can take part in.

And of course “Movember” is also a great thing for women: support your men, raise awareness among others or organize a small fundraising campaign together. Every participation counts, whether as Mo Bro or Mo Sista!

The Movember message: Speech is gold

In the end, Movember is about us all being more open about the topic of health. Maybe we can achieve more than just a few funny beard pictures on social media. So when November comes, think about Movember - because you too can make a big difference with a small contribution.

Stay healthy, take care of the ones you love, and, who knows, maybe this Movember you'll grow a mustache that not only adorns your upper lip, but also makes other people's lives a little better.
