Use it as your conversation starter — and fundraiser. “Host a MO-ment – Organise a BBQ, sports match, office challenge, or friendly poker night. Whatever you enjoy, turn it into a fundraiser. “Give MOnthly – Not ready to grow? A small monthly gift of just $10 still makes a big impact. “Being a gentleman isn’t just about looking good; it’s about feeling good and taking control of your health,” said Deborah Titterton Narraway, Chief Marketing and Fundraising Officer at Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre. “MOvember Bermuda is a fun way to raise funds and start important conversations so no man in Bermuda delays lifesaving cancer screening or care because of cost or access.” A spokesperson added, “All funds raised support local men’s health initiatives and the Equal Access Fund, which provides financial assistance for cancer screening and radiation therapy. MOvember Challenges and Awards “Grow it, show it, and compete for the bragging rights that matter most. Every man deserves an accolade, whether it’s for the best MO, the boldest effort, or the biggest heart behind the cause.
