Movember Saves Lives

Movember Saves Lives

Since 2015, I’ve been raising money and awareness for Movember, a movement dedicated to helping men live happier, healthier, and longer lives.

I participate in Movember to encourage men to take control of their health, both physically and mentally.

The Barbershop Can Save Your Life

The barbershop is a special place. You can get a shave and a haircut and make friends, watch the game, and participate in lively discussions on politics, sports, popular culture, and relationships. During one visit to the barbershop, I discovered that it could be much more than a social hub. It can be life-saving.

We already know music can change our mood, bring back memories, and connect us to specific moments in our lives. New Australian research suggests those connections may also have implications for brain health as we age. A Monash University-led study examined more than 10,800 Australians aged 70 and older. Researchers found that people who reported always listening to music had a 39 percent lower incidence of dementia compared with those who listened less often. Frequent instrument playing was...
