Hospital supports Movember fundraiser

A hospital in Woy Woy has launched a Movember fundraiser.

Brisbane Waters Private Hospital is hoping to raise $500 before the end of the month to support the charity which raises funds and awareness for men's health, with an emphasis on prostate and testicular cancer as well as men's mental health.

Hospital chief executive Ms Kathy Beverley said Movember was an important national event as it conveyed valuable health information to men of all ages and helped shine a light on men's health issues.

"Testicular cancer is the most common cancer amongst young men, but most men don't know how to perform a self-examination.

"If you'd like to support the fight against testicular cancer, donate now to the Brisbane Waters Private Movember team, Bob's Brissy Waters Mo-Bros and Mo-Sisters, by visiting the Movember website," Ms Beverley said.
