DUNTON, UK – Men of Ford, it’s time to ditch that razor and embrace facial hair because “Movember” gets underway this Friday.
Ford has been a proud supporter of this moustache movement for 17 years now, with more than a thousand colleagues growing a moustache during the month of November, raising more than £600,000 to help fund projects supporting research and making a difference in mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.
For Matt Loynes, this will be his 16th Movember with Ford, making him one of the longest serving members of the Ford Movember Community.
“Too many young men are dying too young largely from preventable causes, and Movember is here to look under the hood when it comes to men's health,” he explains.”Movember is not just for the men but for anyone who wants to help the men in their lives live happier, healthier and longer.”
Matt adds: “The moustache is a beacon of hope and a symbol of change. Sometimes in a world filled with chaos and uncertainty, all it takes is one person to remind to us of the power of love, hope and togetherness.
“We all have partners, fathers, brothers, sons and mates that we love. When these men are well, the benefits ripple through relationships, families and communities. But when these men are unwell and unsupported, we all feel it.”
Matt will be hosting a special “Man MOT” drop-in session at the hub in Dunton on November 6 from 10am to 2pm.
“We’re not medical professionals, but we can offer resources and signposting to get you or the men in your life back on the road, so please do pop in.”
