Until the end of the month, become a Mo Bros or a Mo Sistas to educate the men around you about typically male cancers, namely testicular cancer and that of the prostate.
A few weeks ago, the ” Feeling Nuts Challenge Took hold of social networks. The challenge ? Post a selfie while touching your testicles and post it on social media. The purpose of this approach is to remind men that it is important to take care of their health and to regularly palpate the testicles to identify possible cancer as early as possible.
It is somewhat in the same spirit that the Movember Foundation has wanted every year for the past 3 years to raise awareness among men about male cancers. Here, the challenge is less exhibitionist but should delight the hipsters : men must grow a mustache for a month to raise questions and take the opportunity to raise the subject of male cancer with those around them. And also to collect donations for research.
Movember is aimed particularly at young men, which is why the Foundation focuses all its communication on social networks with the possibility of creating a personal space on the event site to motivate its troops and call for donations.
“The World Health Organization shows that men live on average 6 years less than women and it is not genetic but simply that boys do not take care of them” explains Justin Coghlan, co-founder of Movember at the Metro News site. It must be said that many women already benefit from regular monitoring by a gynecologist, which is not the case for men. And, as we know, these gentlemen are more reluctant to go for a checkup … Yet it is a public health priority since testicular cancer is the leading cancer in young men in France and that of the prostate the most. widespread, all age categories combined.
