PROSTATE and testicular cancer will be the focus of a three-month awareness and fundraising campaign, known as Movember – The Ultimate Shave Off, organised by Makna (National Cancer Council) together with the Rainbow Team volunteer group.

Movember (a portmanteau of “Moustache” and “November”), which started in Australia in 1999 had become synonymous with efforts to raise awareness on men’s health issues, including prostate and other male-related cancers, with the growing of moustache in the month of November.
