14 of our members are taking part in Movember this month and 8 will be growing a moustache as a symbol of their solidarity with the movement. Follow along for their journey and find the link in our bio to join in or donate 💚💛
This year we are proud to say we have 14 members from our polo club taking part in Movember, 7 of which will be completing 60km throughout the month by walking, running or cycling. And in a particularly impressive effort, last years captain Raf will be extending his dedication even further by running 60 miles.
The number 60 resembles the number of men’s lives lost to su***de every hour across the world. This is a staggeringly high amount and we want to do what we can to raise awareness and reduce these figures.
Movember is a fantastic cause to get involved with, standing up for not only men’s mental health, but also drawing attention to testicular cancer, prostate cancer and su***de prevention.
So, put down your razors or put your running shoes on and join us in our efforts to raise £1500! If you would like to join our team or donate please find the link below:
