This November, Optimum Health Solutions is excited to launch the Beard Of Origin competition, a spirited contest between Tasmania and NSW to raise funds for Movember. Movember is a global movement dedicated to improving men’s health, focusing on mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.
In a show of solidarity and support, Nick Giller from Cessnock and Matt McDonagh from Hobart will be shaving their beards. This friendly rivalry aims to see which state can raise the most money for Movember, fostering community spirit and awareness.
Movember encourages men to grow moustaches during November to spark conversations and raise awareness about men’s health issues. By participating in the Beard Of Origin, Optimum Health Solutions hopes to contribute significantly to this cause.
About Movember
Movember is an annual event held every November to raise awareness about men’s health issues, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health. The name “Movember” is a blend of “moustache” and “November,” reflecting the central activity of the campaign: growing moustaches.
Participants, known as “Mo Bros,” start the month clean-shaven and grow their moustaches throughout November, sparking conversations and raising funds for men’s health projects.
Movember aims to reduce the number of men dying prematurely by addressing key health issues. The movement encourages men to take action for their health, promotes early cancer detection, and supports mental health initiatives.
Additionally, Movember funds groundbreaking research and supports programs that improve the quality of life for men diagnosed with these conditions.
By participating in Movember, individuals contribute to a global effort to change the face of men’s health, one moustache at a time.
