So far, our Magna Movember Team has raised over $6000 and walked over 105 kilometers for men’s health awareness. Three of Magna’s top fundraisers this year shared about the importance of Movember.
Michael Iannantuono – Magna IT
Michael, a cancer survivor, embodies what Movember is all about. He advocates for pushing progress on cancer research and spreading the word about men's health. Having personally experienced the physical and mental toll of cancer treatments, Michael appreciates the value of a strong support system. He had a great team of doctors, nurses, family, and friends who helped him, and he wants other men to have that support too. Michael emphasized that Movember is about fostering a culture where men feel comfortable and unafraid to open up about their health struggles. To break the stigma about men's health, he shares his story openly. Michael is not just raising money, he is inspiring others to speak up, get support, and face their health challenges with strength.
Mohammad Hadidi – Co-Ex-Tec
For Mohammad, Movember is important because it brings needed attention to men's health issues, like testicular cancer and men’s mental health issues. He has joined walks and grown a moustache this month to spread awareness. Mohammad said that Movember “serves as a reminder that by coming together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected. It's a month of solidarity, sparking conversations, and fostering a proactive approach to men's health.” Mohammad wants everyone to see this month as a chance to take action. He seeks to inspire others to view Movember not just as a month-long event, but as an opportunity to prioritize men's health all year round.
Dan Clarry – Rollstamp
For Dan, Movember is a crucial opportunity to educate men about health issues and foster lasting awareness. He believes the campaign's impact goes beyond its duration, creating an open dialogue that can save lives. Dan raises awareness by starting discussions around men's health, which he believes need to be a normal part of our interactions. Dan wants to inspire everyone to join in on normalizing conversations around health, believing it can make a big difference for men everywhere.
