The awesome power of the Movember moustache resides not only in the awareness it raises for men’s health, but it’s also the only time that men can get away with unruly facial hair and not instantly repel women. Hockey playoff beards can’t speak to this.
Yes, it’s Movember again and clean-shaven men around the world kicked this month off by registering at Movember.com with a pledge to grow their ‘staches to fundraise for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer, and male mental health initiatives.
The efforts of Canada’s Mo Bros and Mo Sistas has helped support Movember partners and initiatives, including Prostate Cancer Canada, Global Action Plan and the Canadian Male Health Network. Last year, $125.7 million was raised worldwide. This year, you can keep the momentum going by supporting these Movember products.
