MBPT Movember 2026

MBPT FITNESS has been supporting the Movember charity for 7 years, raising over £63k through its annual challenge.

Movember is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during November to raise awareness of men’s health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men’s suicide.
The Movember Foundation promotes this initiative and raises funds for men’s health research and support programs.

The Movember challenge consists of two elements.

  • Raising Awareness

    The first is the original way of growing a moustache over November and raising awareness.
  • All for a great cause

    This is something that Mark started taking part in when his father was first diagnosed with Prostate cancer.

Total amount raised to date – £63,529

There are 3 ways for your company to join:

  • Get everyone involved

    You can enter staff members in the physical challenge by completing 5km every day in the month of November, or they can grow a moustache.
  • All started in 2018

    The second element was formed when Mark started his Personal training business in 2018. The challenge was to complete 5km in all 30 days of the month. The 5km must be completed in one go and not made up across the day. You can do the 5 km by walking, running, cycling, or rowing.
  • Raising Awareness

    The goal of the challenge is to raise awareness of men’s mental health and prostate cancer and, in turn, raise as much money as possible for the charity. The Movember challenge also runs a large raffle, which is drawn at the end of November and helps raise more funds for the cause.
