My most frequently asked question is: “What is Movember really about? You know, at a grassroots level?”
A commentary by an IT professional at the University of Victoria who enjoys raising money and awareness — not necessarily in that order.
Movember quickly went global. The campaign travelled to New Zealand, the U.S. and Canada, eventually heightening awareness of men’s health issues, raising $21.5 million Australian to sponsor more than 770 men’s health projects. While the statistics for self-harm are higher for women, the incidence of premature death among men is staggering, sobering and, quite often, heartbreaking when you consider the difference a conversation would have made, or a cup of coffee and a ready ear, or a recitation of some basic facts about male health and wellness.
So this is my thing. I raise money for a cause. I’m good at it. Over the years I have raised thousands for issues that deserve a special approach.
