Millwall are on the ball for men's health
Movember 2015 will kick off early this year on Saturday 31st October when Mitre and The Football League will again back the campaign by using a special 'Mo' branded Delta Hyperseam Fluo ball in the 36 matches that take place that day. Movember and the Football League are asking all clubs to auction these unique match balls signed by their respective first team squads at a subsequent home game during the month to raise vital funds for the men's health organisation’s cause areas of prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity.
Last year, Movember raised over £50,000 through the Football League community and expects many clubs to once again take up the challenge of growing a mo or committing to MOVE to raise awareness and funds for men's health.
The challenge is to MOVE every day of Movember – 30 MOVEs in 30 days. How you MOVE each day is up to you. Whether it's a workout one day, walking 30 minutes to work the next, a game of ping pong or an epic bike ride, no MOVE is too big or small.
Even though the Movember Foundation will always be all about the moustache, there is now more than one way to champion men's health next month. MOVE is a new initiative encouraging Mo Bros and Mo Sistas to get physically active and make a commitment to improve their health while raising funds.

As Mo Bros unite and clean shave on the 1st of the month, they become walking, talking billboards helping to generate awareness and raise vital funds as they wear Movember's hairy ribbon, the moustache for 30 days.
The good news is that moving on a regular basis can reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer by up to 50% and lower your risk of early death by up to 30%. It's also one of the best ways to stay mentally healthy and one of the best treatments for mild to moderate depression.
"This Movember, we want Mo Bros and Mo Sistas to think about mind, body and mo by challenging each other to grow or MOVE for 30 days," says Sarah Coghlan, UK country director for Movember.
"Being active is one of the best things you can do for your health, so the addition of MOVE makes it even easier to do something fun that’s good for you and men’s health. Just sign up at Movember.com."
