Hamilton Rugby Club are supporting this years #Movember campaign.
Men’s health is in crisis. Men are dying on average 4.5 years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons. Which means that it doesn’t have to be that way: we can all take action to live healthier, happier and longer lives.
**What is Movember? **
Movember is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide. The Movember Foundation runs the Movember charity event, with the goal to "change the face of men's health.
**How can I join or help?**
You can join our team and grow a mo' to raise awareness or you can donate to the charity. If your unable to grow a mo for any reason, you can still get involved! You can make a move…Run or walk 60km over the month. That’s 60km for the 60 men we lose to suicide each hour, every hour across the world.
