Movember's primary campaign objective is to raise awareness around men's health issues, specifically cancers affecting men. We want everyone to know that most cancers are highly curable if caught in the early stages- including prostate and testicular cancer. Movember aims to increase early detection, diagnosis and effective treatment, as this will ultimately reduce the number of deaths from cancer.

It's time men face some startling health facts:

- A man dies from prostate cancer every 15.6 minutes
