Yes, It’s Mo-vember.
I must admit, when this Movember thing started a few years ago I thought, “Well, their intentions are good, but nobody’s going to go for something that silly!”
Luckily I was wrong, and Movember has gone from being the kind of wispy thing worn by David Niven, to the kind of out of control monstrosity sprouted by Aus cricketer Merv Hughes.
Movember was originally started in Australia in 2003 to raise funds for men’s health issues, and in the ensuing years the moustache parade has marched into New Zealand, Ireland, Canada, Spain, the United Kingdom, and even the notoriously misandrist United States.
Since its inception Movember has raised over 60 Million dollars for recipients such as…
The Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia
The Cancer Society and Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand
Beyond Blue ( a group fighting depression).
The Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada
The Prostate Cancer Charity in the UK
The Prostate Cancer Foundation in the US
The primary way of raising funds is by growing a moustache, which others then “sponsor”, that is they give money to the cause because you are growing a moustache. Of course, with pigs being notoriously hairless, I’m not about to join in on the hairy upper lip marathon, but you can donate to various moustache growers at your country’s site, which is available through this worldwide portal.
Amongst other events this year, if you upload a photo of yourself with an impressive enough mo, the guys at Rockstar Games (makers of Grand Theft Auto) will put your likeness on one of the characters in the upcoming “ Red Dead Redemption”, and if they don’t like your mo they’ll come round and steal your car.
And if you upload a photo of yourself sporting a soup strainer at this Askmen site the folks at Schick will donate a dollar to these worthy causes.
