Our sole purpose at MHW is to get guys to think a little more and know a little more about their health. We want to encourage men to start with the small steps that can enable them to turn their health issues around. Little steps can – and will – make big differences. We just have to start. For one week in June each year MHW gets to remind us all of the small things we should be doing, the health routines we can understand and control. But guys, one week each year won’t cut it. Living longer, more enjoyable lives takes a little work, but we’re all up for it. We just have to take those small steps and start.
