We are delighted by the support, engagement, and enthusiasm shown in the LUD step challenge "Ūsai eina", held in honor of Movember. We believe that during this challenge, participants not only discovered new walking trails and adopted active lifestyle habits but also learned more about men's health programs and disease prevention methods.

At the same time, we hope that the messages spread throughout the month by LUD community members and urologists emphasized the importance of men’s health in Lithuania, encouraged men to seek professional advice on sexual health issues, and helped to break harmful masculinity stereotypes that prevent men from asking for help when they need it most.

• Challenge Highlights:

• 5,479 participants

• A total of 728,380 km walked

• Step Challenge Prizes:

• The top 3 participants with the highest step counts will receive a free Men's Health Examination program.

• The remaining top 10 participants (4th-10th place) will receive a free PSA test.

What is Movember?

Movember, also known as "Moustache November", is a global initiative encouraging men to grow a mustache to support those battling prostate and testicular cancer, as well as their loved ones. It is a movement that promotes open conversations about men's health, including mental well-being and the impact of healthy habits on daily life.

This month also provides an opportunity to foster a closer dialogue between doctors and the public, helping to break long-standing stereotypes and taboos related to men’s health.
