If You Mustache, You Must Give. Several of my colleagues at FlexGen have been participating in Movember this month (Zoom calls have been invaded by less than appealing mustaches). Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men’s health and works to tackle the biggest health issues faced by men – prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention. Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects. Please consider supporting the FlexGen Movember Team.
