Movember

It’s that time of the year again… Movember! Movember – Mustache + November = Movember. It’s the month where men grow out their mustaches to gain awareness for prostate and testicular cancer. Maybe we should do a photo gallery for NorthSanDiego.org where you can send in your weekly progress throughout the month. Let us know if you are interested and we will get something further together. We could give away a free 125 x 125 ad for December on whoever has the best stache.

Straight from http://us.movember.com/about/:

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo’s, these men raise vital awareness and funds for men’s health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives.

Once registered at www.movember.com, men start Movember 1st clean shaven. For the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.

Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.

At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their gallantry and valor by either throwing their own Movember party or attending one of the infamous Gala Partés held around the world by Movember, for Movember.
