health awareness. They stand up for this cause because it’s “something that the
general public don’t know a lot about. A lot of the focus now has been on
women’s health, but now men are speaking up, saying that men’s health should
have as much attention as women’s” Mr. Hutchison says. “To get people aware of
a cause they never knew about is so important”, an Athletic Council member
adds. Finally, supporters of Movember also believe that any group of people can
bring more strength to this men’s health cause, as Mr. Hutchison says, “if we can
come together, raising awareness and money to help with treatment of men’s diseases,
there’s much more strength, much like the Pink Ribbon Campaign for
breast cancer.”
Overall, supporters of Movember, whether it has been students or teachers, have
been spreading the message about men’s health. If you would like to contribute to
