The Read ‘Mos’ Christoffersen team are growing their mustaches, fundraising and raising awareness about men’s health issues. This year, team members are also encouraged to walk or run 60km during the month. 29 RJCers are part of this year’s team, with a goal of raising $15,000 for Movember.

Movember is an annual event during the month of November to raise awareness of men’s health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men’s suicide. As part of the event, men are encouraged to grow a mustache, a ‘mo’, during the month of November, and/or to move run or walk 60km over the month for the 60 men that are lost to suicide each hour across the world.

Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 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.
