Benn Glazier [weblog]

I've recently relocated to London from Sydney and I'll ramble about good food and drink around town, eclectic electronic music, absolutely anything to do with digital media, throw some sport (more than likely cricket) in and the odd personal experience — as seen through my camera lens.

It’s Movember Again…

And you know what that means! Facial hair reigns supreme for the next 30 days.

During Movember I’ll be growing a moustache. That’s right I’m bringing the Mo back again this year as I’m passionate about changing the state of men’s health. Check out the evidence from last year’s effort!

Male health is a major issue that often goes unnoticed in the media. Did you know that:
— Men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy of males is 6 years less than females.
— Every year in Australia 2,700 men die of prostate cancer – more than the number of women who die from breast cancer.
— Depression affects 1 in 6 men. Most don’t seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide. Rates of suicide are more than double the national road toll.

How to donate?
Help me change the face of men’s health by sponsoring my mo — my rego number is 25382. All donations of AU$2 and over are tax deductible.

The money raised by Movember will be used to change the face of men’s health by creating awareness and funding research into prostate cancer and depression.

Movember culminates at the end of the month at the Gala Partè where I’ll be parading my Mo on the cat walk for a chance to be crowned the Man of Movember. If you want to be part of this great night you’ll have to purchase a Gala Partè ticket for $33.00 (inc GST).

Movember is proud partners with the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue – the national depression initiative.
