Annually in the month of November, men across the globe grow moustaches or beards to raise funds for and awareness of men’s health issues.

Macra national president Thomas Duffy is doing it a bit differently this year. Instead of growing the Movember moustache, he will shave his beloved beard if we can raise €1,500.

Over the past year Macra’s committees have been engaged in health and wellness activities as well as raising awareness around some of the health challenges facing men specifically.

“Overall health and wellbeing are priorities for our organisation and participating in Movember is a fun way to ensure those initiatives continue to move forward. Parting with my beard is going to be difficult but it is for a worthy cause and I do hope we reach our fundraising goal” said Duffy.
