A team of horsemen in Alberta have banded together to raise funds and awareness all in the name of men’s health.

Spearheaded by driver Mike Hennessy, these horsemen are fundraising for the Movember Foundation for the month of November. These funds will go towards research and programs aimed to help men affected by prostate and testicular cancer, and to encourage positive mental health.

The Movember Foundation is uniquely placed to address these causes at local, national and global levels. Their work is focused on funding ground-breaking projects all over the world, engaging with men where they are, understanding what works best, and helping make change happen sooner.

By funding the three biggest health issues faced by men today, they’re able to ensure a long lasting impact on the face of men’s health.

With this in mind, and wanting to make the greatest change possible, the harness horsemen of Alberta have extended an open invite to other Albertan horsemen to become part of their team in support of all dads, sons, brothers, and friends.

Check out the team's Movember page for more information on how to donate or join.
