Men will die on average 4.5 years earlier than women, and for reasons that are largely preventable. Which means that it doesn’t have to be that way: we can all take action to live healthier, happier and longer lives. How can we take action? Here are the top 5 things to know and do; 1. Spend time with people who make you feel good. Stay connected. Your mates are important and spending time with them is good for you. Catch up regularly, check in and make time. 2. Talk, more. You don’t need to be an expert and you don’t have to be the sole solution, but being there for someone, listening and giving your time can be life-saving. 3. Know the numbers. At 50, talk to your doctor about prostate cancer and whether it’s right for you to have a PSA test. If you have a father or brother with prostate cancer, you should be having this conversation at 45. Know the numbers, know your risk, talk to your doctor. 4. Know your nuts. Simple. Get to know what’s normal for your testicles. Give them a check regularly and go to the doctor if something doesn’t feel right. 5. Move, more. Add more activity to your day. Do more of what makes you feel good. Take a walking meeting. Park further away from the station. Get off the bus a stop or two earlier. Instead of the lift, take the stairs. Cycle to work, instead of driving.

"Men are dying too young. We can’t afford to stay silent. It's time to speak up" Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men's health projects around the world, tackling mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer, and changing the way health services reach and support men. Together, we supported Movember last month, but the fight isn't over yet.

https://lnkd.in/g-U4cgaT As many of you know, I have had a lot of titles in life: Director, Manager, Category manager. However, none of them are more important than the titles of Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister, and Friend. One of the titles I also hold is Chair for the West Michigan Light the Night Walk. This cause has been near and dear to my heart for years now, as my little brother fought and lost his battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, August 21st of last year. I encourage anyone who is near to sign up to attend the walk and show your support: https://lnkd.in/g_SwYP5C For those you wishing to show support in other ways I encourage you to reach out. My fundraising page is below, and I have a personal goal of $5,000 dollars. The dollar amount seems so little compared to what this horrible disease actually cost my family, but I will do whatever it takes to ensure no family has to go through what we have, and I know LLS is just the organization that can do it. Many of you on my feed are influential in your organizations, and I encourage you to reach out to Madison Morell and find out how you and your organization can get involved. Corporate walk and fundraising teams are incredible ways to help your organizations create a positive lasting impacts on your communities, and with more than 1 out of every 2 people being touched by a cancer diagnosis, you are impacting your teams as well. Help me reach my personal goal but think bigger and bolder: help US cure cancer. #leadership #cancer #LLS #philanthropy #grief #worklifebalance

At the risk of too much information, went to my Doctor this morning for my annual check up and got my bloodwork done with a PSA Test of .68 (normal). For those who are new to the scene or just forgot like me, the PSA test is a blood test used primarily to screen for prostate cancer. The test measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in your blood. PSA is a protein produced by both cancerous and noncancerous tissue in the prostate. The levels are - 0-2.5: Normal for a man 40-50 yrs. 2.5-3.5: Normal for a man 50-60 yrs. 3.5-4.5: Normal for a man 60-70 yrs. Doing this as a reminder as a part of our Mo'vember campaign at StarRez, Inc. as our company founder Alan Knipe passed due to prostate cancer. If you are interested in supporting, always appreciate sharing the message of getting tested - you can also support our teams, the NA team page is https://lnkd.in/g4g2AVQk. UK and AUS teams are also live if you prefer to support in that area. Already over the $1,200 mark collectively USD (kind of with all of the exchange rates..) And StarRez will match dollar for dollar!

Next week I'm getting bucketed...again. #ceosoak In the 10 years since the Ice Bucket Challenge we've seen a huge leap forward in what we know about the disease. New genes like NEK1, TBK1 and KIF5A are leading us towards better diagnosis and targeted therapies, advances in biomarkers like NfL (Neurofilament light chain) are helping us decrease the time to diagnosis and, with 100+ drugs in some phase of active clinical trials, we are closer than ever to the end of ALS. So with all that great progress why still do this? Well, for all that progress there is still lots we don't know about ALS. While we know that genetic mutations and environmental factors contribute to ALS, the how and why are still unknown, and for the other 90% of cases which make up sporadic ALS we have no idea at all. We don't understand the mechanisms of the disease nor what are the indicators that someone will, or won't, get it. So...I'm getting under the bucket again, and I'm asking you all to support me (or anyone for that matter) by making a donation to the cause, finding an event or walk around you and participating in that, or starting your own fundraising effort. Whatever you choose to do...just do something! Later, #LetsSeeItEnd
