Ryan Heath CLP, CLT, provincial board representative for the Toronto Chapter, has registered an LO team for Movember, an awareness campaign for men’s health, which also acts as a fund-raiser for Prostate Cancer Canada.

The Movember Foundation is a non-profit organization that runs the global men’s health initiative.

“Given that we are such a male dominated industry, it only seems logical that we do our part to help out,” said Heath. “This is a great opportunity to companies to come together and have some fun.” Heath owns and operates Ryan Heath Professional Landscape in Keswick.

Each year, Movember, the month formerly known as November, is responsible for the sprouting of thousands of Mos (Australian slang for moustache, where the movement began) on men’s faces around the world, raising vital awareness and funds for men’s health - specifically prostate cancer.

Men who grow moustaches for the month of Movember, called Mo Bros, become walking, talking billboards for the cause, raising awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health. Movember funds raised in Canada benefit Prostate Cancer Canada (www.prostatecancer.ca). Contact Ryan Heath by email at ryan@ryanheath.com.
