Wherever You Are

Globally, one man takes his own life every minute, of every day. 

This Movember, we’re asking Lakehead students, faculty, staff and alumni to make your Move – for them. Commit to walking or running 60 km over the month. That’s 60 km for the 60 men we lose each hour, every hour – the men who should still be here today. 

You don’t have to be an ultra-athlete or own the latest kicks. Just put one foot in front of the other, and you’ve already made a start. 

How to sign up: 

  1. Visit movember.com and join our team, Lakehead Thunderwolves, choose to Move for Men’s health.
  2. Chip away at your target. Hit it fast. Take it slow. Go outside. Or jump on the treadmill. Sync your fitness tracker or log your activity manually.
  3. Make it count. Call on friends and family to join in, raise awareness about men’s mental health concerns and resources throughout the month. 

We'll be raising awareness about men's mental health concerns and sharing resources all month so follow us @lakeheadlife, @thunderwolvesor
