Hey everyone,
November is Men’s Health Awareness Month. After seeing how everyone came together to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, I would love to keep that momentum going in November by supporting the Movember Foundation. The Movember Foundation supports all facets of men’s health including mental health initiatives, prostate cancer research, and testicular cancer research. You can learn more about how the Movember Foundation supports these different causes on their website Movember.com.
There are lots of ways to get involved. For those who can, you can grow a mustache as a conversation piece to start the discussion about men’s health. For the ladies you can print out the Movember mustache logo, snap a picture rocking the mustache, and post to social media with a caption explaining why you support the Movember foundation.
You can also get involved via Move for Movember. The challenge is to run or walk 60km in the month of November for the 60 men lost to suicide each hour across the world. Use your favorite fitness app to keep track of your progress throughout the month. If you want to modify that to be more of a CrossFit challenge you can do 600 burpees throughout the month, since I know we all love running so much…
I would also love to host a Mo-ment at the gym. A day where we can come together and suffer through a tough workout as another way to raise awareness and funds for men’s health. More info to come as we get a date set up. I will start a team on the Movember website and send out a link for anyone interested in signing up. https://movember.com/t/cfsyosset-cffullmotion?mc=1
