Well, after hearing from a number of friends who are participating in Movember this year, I decided to also take the plunge to help change the face of men’s health as well.
There are a number of my co-workers at Ballance Display who are participating in the Movember cause this year so I joined the team recently, so I guess I’ll join the Movember team as well.
From the Movember website:
During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in Canada and around the world. With their “Mo’s”, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer.
On Movember 1st, guys register at Movember.com with a clean-shaven face. 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.
If you are participating, please let me know so I can post YOUR page as well. I’d like to get a good list of Milton Mo’ Bro’s to let the people of our town know why we will be looking so silly this month.
So far the Miltonian’s I know of are:
And of course, yours truly.
I’m still on the fence as to what kind of ‘stash to grow so if you have any tips or suggestions, get them to me soon.
You can follow my Movember quest on my Twitter as well. Help me help others change the face of men’s health in Canada.
Horesehoe!
While my vote is for Horeshoe, you know who’s got the real voting power – go with what keeps Pat happy :-). She’s the one who’s got to snuggle up to your mug!
