Welcome to Movember South Africa, 2009

Movember South Africa will raise funds and awareness for CANSA

Spread the message - detect men’s cancers early

All men should invest in their health by learning how to detect men’s cancers early - The Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) encourages men to be proactive by regular self-examination and having Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood tests.

Men from age 15 to 40 years of age need to examine their testicles each month, preferably after a bath or shower, to feel for any pea-sized lumps that could indicate testicular cancer. Men over the age of 50 need to go for simple screening tests each year to check if they might have prostate cancer, which is the most common cancer among men in South Africa and globally. The lifetime risk for men developing prostate cancer in South Africa is one in 23.

Help fight cancer by supporting Movember and grow your Mo to spread the message to detect men’s cancers early. Funds raised will go towards CANSA’s Men’s Health and awareness campaigns.

CANSA’s purpose is to lead the fight against cancer in South Africa to save lives.

So, submit your email address and get ready to grow your finest South African Mo! Or, why not get a team together in your workplace, sporting club or friends and compete for the finest Mo and most funds raised?
