Can we have your attention for a mo?
As the days of November whizz past, it's not just the spring blossoms that are growing; it's also the season when you’ll see moustaches start to sprout across the country!
That's right, it's Movember once again, and Think Concepts is proudly participating to make a difference in men's health.
Why Movember matters
Movember isn't just about the moustache; it's a movement with a mission. The Movember Foundation is at the forefront of supporting men's health, focusing on mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. Their work has been life-changing, and the resources they provide have been a beacon of hope and support for many.
A snapshot of Kiwi men's health
In New Zealand, the state of men's health calls for our attention with some sobering statistics:
· Suicide is the second leading cause of death for Kiwi men aged 15 to 59.
· Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 New Zealand men, making it the most diagnosed cancer among our male population.
· Testicular cancer remains the leading cancer in young men aged 15 to 29.
These statistics are more than just numbers – they're a call to action for us all this Movember.
Stories that inspire action
At the heart of Movember's mission are the powerful stories of individuals like Lewis. His battle with testicular cancer is a profound reminder of the critical importance of early detection and the strength found in community support. Lewis's journey from diagnosis to becoming an advocate for men's health embodies the essence of what Movember stands for.
We Think, therefore we do
At Think Concepts, we're not just about innovative solutions and customer-focused service; we're about community and care. That's why we're stepping up once again to support Movember, and we're inviting you to join us on the journey.
Looking back, we're incredibly proud of what we've achieved together over the years. In 2020 we raised $545. In 2021 we raised $1515, and in 2022, we raised $2120. It's a growing testament to our commitment and the generous support of people like you.
The Think Team is aiming to raise $2500 this year, and we're off to a great start with $1285 already in the kitty! Every donation, big or small, helps us get closer to our goal. You can make a difference by donating to our team.
This year, most of our team members are moving for Movember, committing to staying active to raise funds and awareness. It's about having fun, doing good, and getting some healthy competition going! And, of course, some of the team are also taking on the challenge to grow a mo – nurturing their whiskers to spark conversations and inspire donations.
Help us make a difference
So, let's rally together for this vital cause. Whether you're cheering from the sidelines, donating to the Think Team, making a move, or growing your own mo, every bit of support counts.
Together, we can make a significant impact on men's health – for our fathers, partners, brothers, and friends. Because every moustache, every step taken, every dollar raised means we're one step closer to a healthier, happier community for all our men.
