Movember

In 2003, a movement for men’s health started in Australia. A movement that has since funded over 1,320 men’s health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men.  Known for their impact on prostate and testicular cancer, Movember expanded its reach to address mental health in men.  Across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides.

They have taken on three of the biggest health issues affecting men: mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. As a result, men are living healthier, longer lives.  The movement started with 30 Mo Bros. Now, it claims a headcount of over 6 million. And they are not done yet.

Joining us today is Max Skinner who works with Movember as a Community Development Manager.  He is the founder of Thropic, a donor software company that uses blockchain technology.  He is a graduate of Elon University.
