Movember
This November grow a moustache for the Movember event which focuses on men's health issues
Movember is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide.
In 2003 two friends met up for a quiet beer in Melbourne, Australia, and the idea that sparked Movember was born. The moustache had all but disappeared from fashion trends but they found 30 men willing to take up the challenge.
The Movember movement officially became a charity in 2006 and began to work with more men's health charities around the world, linking up with The Prostate Charity in the UK in 2007.
Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men.
Here’s some of our beneficiaries showing support for the Movember campaign this year!
