CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Members of the Harvard
men’s hockey team are growing mustaches throughout the month
of November as part of the Movember campaign to raise money and
awareness to fight prostate cancer and other cancers that affect
men.
One in six American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in
their lifetimes. Members of the Crimson are asking fans to support
their growing efforts and the 33,000 men who will die of prostate
cancer and the nearly 8,300 men who will be diagnosed with
testicular cancer this year. All Movember, individuals can join the
men’s hockey players in supporting the cause of men’s
health by donating
to their fundraising team here.
During November each year, Movember is responsible for the
sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the
United States and around the world. With their
“mo’s,” these men raise vital funds and awareness
for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other
cancers that affect men.
