Movember


If the men around you seem hairier than usual this November, perhaps they're growing their Movember mustaches. Movember is a month-long event starting November 1st wherein men across the world grow a mustache to raise money for prostate cancer research. They start clean-shaven, then "grow a mo."

Men all over the world participate. There's even a Movember Foundation where men can register, raise money, and find celebration parties all across the United States. Some men pay into a pool of money at their workplaces, thereby entering themselves into a mustache growing contest. Other men get pledged donations and raise a certain dollar amount before they can shave their mustaches. Some just collect as much money as they can until November 30th.

However they grow their mo's, I wish them well. Curing cancer is a hairy business.
