Why should I join?

This is the question many people are asking this Movember. Whether it's the fact that you don't think you can handle having a 'stache for a month or that you just don't know enough about Movember, we can assure you the 'stache is a chick-magnet and there are many reasons to join Movember.

Did you know:
- 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, whereas only 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed
- 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.
- Men commit suicide four times as often as women.
- An estimated 8.7 million adult men over the age of 20 in the US have diabetes- and a third do not know it.
- Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in American males between the ages of 15 and 34.
- Approximately 50 million men and women in the US have high blood pressure- almost 30 per cent of them do not know it.

Movember aims to change the face of men's health. By joining Movember you help make this possible.

Movember works with the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) and LIVESTRONG to help raise awareness and funds for prostate and testicular cancers.

Join today! Grow a Mo, Save a Bro!!!

Movember

Hi everyone! Welcome to the Mizzou for Movember blog! Mizzou for Movember is a new campus organization aimed at bringing Movember to the Mizzou campus. But what is Movember?

Movember is a non-profit organization aimed to raise funds and awareness for prostate and testicular cancers. According to the Movember Web site, "Each year, Movember, the month formerly known as November, is responsible for the sprouting of thousands of Mo's (Australian slang for moustache, where the movement began) on men’s faces around the world, raising vital awareness and funds for men’s health, specifically for cancer affecting men.

Men who grow moustaches for the month of Movember, called Mo Bros, become walking, talking billboards for the cause, raising awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.

Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by getting friends and family to donate to their Mo-growing efforts. The rules are simple: register online at Movember.com and start the month of Movember clean-shaven, then grow a moustache for 30 days. Last year, 255,722 men and women across the globe raised $40 million (USD) - all through the power of the Mo."

Please help us bring Movember to Mizzou. Mizzou Mo Bro's: Grow out your moustache this Movember to support the cause! Mizzou Mo Sistas: Help raise funds and tell all the guys you know to grow a 'stache!
