Dynamo and Dynamo for Intermediaries have embarked on a new challenge: Movember 2021. The team members will be either growing a moustache or committing to run or walk 60km throughout November in order to raise funds for Movember UK’s important work.

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 75% of all suicides. Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men.

The motivations for taking part in this year’s Movember challenge are many and varied, but it is clear that it is close to many hearts.

Our team was asked: Why is taking part in Movember important to you?

“Even if you can help just one person, it’s job done for me.”

“To help people talk about things in more depth, to help save lives.”

“To remind people that they don’t have to suffer in silence.”

“It’s a strength to ask for help, it’s a strength to listen.”

Watch our short video to hear more from our team as they embark on the challenge and reflect upon their own personal reasons for taking part. You can support Dynamo’s Movember challenge by donating here.
