In an effort to raise awareness around various men’s health issues, including testicular and prostate cancer, RE/MAX of Southern Africa is challenging its network to wear or grow a moustache for a Movember-themed Livestream workout event to be held on Friday, 18 November 2022. The event can be watched on the brand’s YouTube channel.   

The brand’s aim with this campaign is simply to raise awareness around the early detection of curable diseases as well as the many health risks men face. According to the Movember Foundation website, globally, “men die on average 5 years earlier than women, and for reasons that are largely preventable”.

For those who would like to get behind this worthy cause, RE/MAX of Southern Africa suggests 3 easy ways to support men’s health this November…

1. Get checked
If you have not already, then now is the time to go for your annual health checks to make sure you are not facing any risks that can be prevented or cured.

2. Get active 
Exercise can also be a great way to keep mentally and physically healthy. Not only does it keep the body fit and active, but it also releases endorphins that allow for an improved mood.

3. Get growing
Help raise awareness around the cause by growing your moustache out for the month of November. You can then use the moustache as a way to bring up conversations around men’s health issues, such as anxiety and depression, which is a common concern that many men are too ashamed to talk about or to seek professional help about.

“We encourage everyone to do what they can to help raise awareness around men’s health issues this November. Every bit of help can go a long way, especially when we work together,” says Regional Director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa, Adrian Goslett.
