Movember puts the focus on men’s health beyond the mustache

ATLANTA, Ga. (ATL Live) - Mustaches are a familiar sight each November, but Movember’s work extends beyond facial hair. The global movement focuses on men’s mental health and suicide prevention, as well as prostate and testicular cancer.

The Details

Movember Ambassador Russell Mitchell talked with ATL Live host Ava Braatz about his connection to the cause, the organization’s work and ways to start conversations about men’s health.

Movember began in Australia in 2003. The organization says it has funded more than 1,320 men’s health projects. People can participate without growing a mustache by walking or running, hosting a gathering or creating their own challenge.
