Movember Foundation
Globally, every minute, a man dies by suicide.
In Australia, 75% of suicides are men.
In 2018, in conjunction with STIHL Aus. we began our support of the Movember Foundation.
The Movember Foundation was created by a group of mates, looking to tackle the big Men’s Health Issues of today – Mental Health, Prostate & Testicular Cancers.
“Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1250 men’s health projects around the world, changing the statues quo, shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach & support men”.
At the end of Movember 2019, Stihl Shop Osborne Park hosted our first – Movember Men’s Health Night. Our goal for the night was to open communication lines between members our close community in an effort impart knowledge and awareness regarding men’s health issues.
Our hope is that through the efforts of the Movember Foundation, and events such as our Men’s Health Night, that a ripple effect of positivity, awareness & knowledge is created spreading wide throughout our community – and the world.
Keep a look out this Movember for our Men’s Health Night.
