Stuart Edmondson, Head of Integrated Healthcare, who is leading the fundraising tells us why it is such an important cause:
“Too many men do not talk about their physical or mental health problems and choose to ‘man-up’, each year over 47,000 men are diagnosed with Prostate Cancer – that's 129 men every day and every 45 minutes one man dies – that's more than 11,000 men every year. Men are three times as likely to die by suicide than women – in 2018, 5,185 men in the UK and Republic of Ireland took their own lives, the highest suicide rate in the UK, and England, is among men aged 45-49. Attitudes need to change as men are dying too young; we all have a part to play and supporting the Movember Foundation goes some way.”
