Canvey Island's first team squad and staff are delighted to announce that they have signed up to this month's 'Movember' challenge in order to raise funds for the Movember Chairity and men's health issues.

About Movember

Movember is an organisation set up to help support and treat men's health issues through a variety of projects funded by donations.
The Movember challenge is simple - men signed up to the charity grow and maintain a mustache for a month!
Through setting up a fundraiser, their friends and loved ones can donate to the charity and keep tabs on how their challenge is going.

More from the charity website:
Men’s health is in crisis. Men are dying on average 4.5 years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons.

A growing number of men – around 10.8M globally – are facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. And across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides.
Movember is uniquely placed to address this crisis on a global scale. We fund groundbreaking projects all over the world, engaging men where they are to understand what works best and accelerate change.

We’re doing what others can’t. We unite experts from around the world to collaborate on projects that will fundamentally change the way men in need are treated and supported. To ensure our impact is significant, far-reaching and long-lasting, we prioritise funding for the three biggest health issues facing men: mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.
