This year, some of the men at Active PT are celebrating in unique fashion by growing out their facial hair in honor of Men’s health awareness.
Movember is a movement started in the late 1990s as a way to bring awareness to men’s health. Today, The Movemnber Foundation is attempting to “Change the Face of Men’s Health.”
They are leading the charge in addressing men’s health issues such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. They hope to reduce the amount of pre-mature male deaths by the year 2030.
At Active, we hope the growth of our facial hair in a unique way will spark conversation about men’s health, and in turn be a catalyst for change. It’s possible that through discussion and awareness, someone will detect a health condition early, or seek out that counselor that they’ve been meaning to schedule an appointment with.
