For those not yet familiar with the Movember Foundation, it supports money for research and prevention projects against common male diseases such as prostate cancer and testicular cancer, but also campaigns for mental health and suicide prevention. These are topics that real men don't even talk about. It is precisely this problem that the foundation is also tackling and sensitizing "real" men to talk about when something is wrong with their health or psyche.

Since 2004, MoBro's and MoSista's have been raising money for various research projects and prevention. Recently, four projects in Switzerland were also supported with 800,000 euros from these donations.
The best-known way to donate money is during the month of November, when many men grow their moustaches and start a collection campaign with the foundation. But there are also other options - for example, riding a mountain bike race.

Race for Movember

The two friends Fridolin Engler and Ralf Wildhaber are passionate and ambitious racing cyclists as well as mountain bikers with a lot of racing experience. One is a former World Cup rider, the other an active amateur. Both have already had their share of health setbacks, both in the family and personally. Now they want to compete in the "BC Bike Race" in Canada together. Adrenaline will be converted directly into charity.

Engler and Wildhaber are pursuing two goals at once: To achieve a good placing and raise money for the prevention of all male diseases. The race alone would be too small a challenge for the two men with their portfolio. Where's the kick in that? So they are "racing for Movember" - a campaign worth supporting and one that you can become part of yourself.
You can support Engler and Wildhaber's project via the "Race for Movember" profile at the following link www.movember.com/raceformovember. By the way, it's not just for men!

The two mountain bikers share what's going on at the BC Bike Race in Canada on Facebook and Instagram.
