TW takes on Movember!
TW supported Movember last month to raise awareness for men’s health and raised nearly £400! Our activities have included:
- Sticking a moustache on your colleague (pictures of them that is, not your colleagues!)
- Who Wears it best? Take a selfie with your Moustache and pin it to the notice board and
- Our own Sean Sanders, Jon Butt and Andrew Raby are Growing a Mo for Movember and you can donate here:
Thackray Williams LLP is fundraising for Movember (justgiving.com)
Why are we raising awareness – some sobering facts:
- Men will die on average 4.5 years earlier than women, and for reasons that are largely preventable. Which means that it doesn’t have to be that way: we can all take action to live healthier, happier and longer lives.
- Globally, on average, 1 man dies by suicide every minute of every day.
- 1 in 8 men in the UK will be diagnose with prostate cancer in their lifetime.
- Testicular cancer strikes young. It’s the most common cancer in young UK men.
