Your support for men’s health makes a real difference. Mo’s across Europe have raised millions of much-needed funds that will go towards men’s health projects, and we couldn’t be more grateful for your support. Here’s just a few examples of the change you helped create.

IMPROVING THE MENTAL FITNESS OF YOUNG ATHLETES

Movember Ahead of the Game is coming to Europe. MAOTG is a mental health literacy and resilience programme that will educate young players (aged 12 to 18 years), and support their networks (parents, coaches and club volunteers) on the importance of mental health, teaching them how to spot the signs of poor mental health, how to talk about mental health challenges, and how and when to seek help. MAOTG equips participants to navigate life’s challenges both on and off the field. The programme is coming to Paris this November thanks to the support of Generation 2024 and Académie de Paris as part of the Paris Olympics legacy programme. Watch this space as we look to roll this out across more locations in Europe.

Finding the best way to fight testicular cancer 

Movember-funded researchers in Europe are seeking to determine the best treatment plan for men who have been treated for testicular cancer with chemotherapy, but the cancer has come back. The research project, called the TIGER Trial, is looking at whether there is a difference in survival rates between patients receiving conventional dose chemotherapy compared with high-dose chemotherapy with stem-cell treatment. Recruitment of 420 men and boys 254 of whom from the EU– has now been completed. All patients will be followed up for several years, but we anticipate that the data analysis and resulting publications will provide significant guidance in the clinical care of this rare group of men with testicular cancer.

Improving prostate cancer care

Over 61,000 men from 14 countries – including Germany, Netherlands and Spain – have joined the TrueNTH Global Registry to help doctors identify what’s working well for men with prostate cancer (and what isn’t) so that care can be improved for all men. 
Depending on where a man lives, his race, and other factors, there can be big gaps in prostate cancer care and outcomes. Thanks to funds raised by the Movember community, the TrueNTH Global Registry is working to close these gaps and improve prostate cancer care globally.
