The Movember Challenge is an annual event aimed at raising awareness and funds for men's health issues, particularly prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health.
Last year, over 100 students took part, with incredible support from various sports teams. Men's rugby led the charge in fundraising efforts, helping to raise an impressive £5,766 overall. Teams from hockey, volleyball, football, badminton, surf, and Formula Students also made significant contributions.
This year, we're aiming for even greater participation and impact! If you are keen to take part, join our Edinburgh Napier challenge where you can see how you are doing compared to other teams and individuals at the University.
You can either fundraise on your own or as part of a team with your sports club, society, course, department or friends!
