‘Movember'
How can poor facial grooming equal cancer awareness? Well, you could ask the thousands of Australians who grow a moustache – mo – during 'movember' to raise awareness and money for men's health. Movember began a decade ago by a small group of Australian guys and has spread internationally raising thousands of dollars for prostate cancer research.
According to the organization,
"Movember aims to change attitudes and make men's health fun by putting the Mo back on the face of fashion and in the process raise some serious funds for key men's health issues."
So all this month Australian men will be growing their finest 1970s mo's which concludes with Gala events and Mo-themed festivities.
Don't think a Mo would fly at your workplace? You can still get into the spirit of movember and make a wise health decision by consulting your local physician about
preventive screening for prostate cancer.
