I decid­ed to par­tic­i­pate in the dona­tion activ­i­ty Movem­ber. The name is a mix of Mus­tache, Men and Novem­ber. The dona­tion activ­i­ty is col­lect­ing mon­ey for fight­ing typ­i­cal male ill­ness­es, such as prostate can­cer and tes­tic­u­lar can­cer, as well as fur­ther­ing psy­cho­log­i­cal health and sui­cide pre­ven­tion. A very good cause. Vis­it my dona­tion page by read­ing the QR code or click­ing the QR code image.

We stand for:

• Pre­vent­ing sui­cide in men
  Our fathers, broth­ers, sons and friends are dying by sui­cide, every minute of every day.
  We won’t accept this. To make change hap­pen, Movem­ber views men­tal health through a male lens. We focus on ear­ly inter­ven­tion, engag­ing men and work­ing to their strengths. By 2030, we aim to reduce the rate of male sui­cide by 25%.
• Improv­ing the qual­i­ty of life
  Men with prostate can­cer and tes­tic­u­lar can­cer face an uphill bat­tle before, dur­ing and after treat­ment. But with use­ful tools and straight-shoot­ing advice, we aim to light­en their load so these men can live life to the fullest.
• Help­ing men take action
  Glob­al­ly, men die on aver­age 6 years ear­li­er than women, and for large­ly pre­ventable reasons.
  So we’re shin­ing a light on the health risks men need to know about, increas­ing aware­ness to stop men dying too young.
• Team­ing up with great minds
  A cri­sis this size calls for big ideas from the bright­est minds. Movem­ber brings togeth­er the best researchers and experts from across the globe, reduc­ing research over­lap to max­imise brain­pow­er and accel­er­ate progress.

Having an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health.

Since this blog has been dead for sev­er­al years, because I moved many of my online activ­i­ties to Face­book, I decid­ed to cre­ate a new line of arti­cles here. Because I am expect­ing more vis­its from out­side of Switzer­land, I want to describe a set of excur­sions, and maybe I end up with a sort of small Swiss tourist guide. Since I live in Zurich, the focus will be some­thing like this:

1. Easy one day touris­tic excur­sions from Zurich, for which it is worth get­ting up in the morn­ing and get going.
2. Short tours to the envi­ron­ment, that can be done spon­ta­neous­ly in an afternoon.
3. Longer tours that take more prepa­ra­tion and maybe even an overnight stay

 
I already assem­bled a list of pos­si­ble excur­sions on the Offer­ings page “Excur­sions to Swiss Attrac­tions”. In the near future, I will describe some of these excur­sions in more detail when­ev­er I find the time. This page, there­fore, serves as a direc­to­ry and overview for excur­sions that I rec­om­mend at any time, which I prob­a­bly made myself, and which I love to do with my vis­i­tors. It can serve as an inspi­ra­tion and basis for suggestions.
