Here is an a company-wide email that was forwarded to me:

"Get ready for Movember!

Dear Colleagues,

It’s no secret that men don’t always take their health as seriously as they should, often putting off seeing a doctor until a small problem turns into a big one. Across the world, men die six years younger than women on average, for reasons that are often preventable.

By supporting the Movember movement, ***** wants to help change this situation. Movember is a charity addressing some of the biggest health issues faced by men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention. Originally created in 2003 by two friends from Australia who thought it would be fun to grow a Mo or moustache to raise funds for prostate cancer, the Movember movement each November has become an internationally recognized campaign for men’s health.

We want to help Movember raise awareness of the importance of early diagnosis for men with prostate and testicular cancer. When detected early, survival rates for prostate cancer are higher than 98%. Those survival rates drop to below 26% when detected late.

We also want to highlight the importance of good mental health.

So how can you join the Movember movement?

As part of #WorkingWellTogether, various Movember actions and events will be organized in *****’s offices throughout the world – in London, Charlotte, Paris, Cologne, Singapore and more – more details on each event will follow at a local level.

But that’s not all! You can also find more staff-led Movember actions on the new #WorkingWellTogether group on Yammer.

Happy Movember!

Well, I never!
