Pretty soon I’m going to grow a moustache. Not out of personal preference, but as part of Movember. For a month I’m going to be growing, trimming and tending an unsightly sprawl on my top lip in aid of prostate cancer. Dad announced about 2 years ago that he had it, a number family friends have it or have died of it, and Georgia’s father died of it. 1 in 11 UK men can expect to be diagnosed with it at sometime during their life. The moustache feels pretty trivial next to all that, but if anyone feels like donating to a worthy cause (the charity not the tache), I’d be hugely grateful.
If you are feeling generous, you can donate via me here or direct to the charity in the UK (or others worldwide).
Thanks.
Just trying to understand — I’m totally on-board with men’s health awareness and prostate cancer, but can you help me understand the connection with the moustache and how that will help?
Hi Kyle – fair question. The moustache itself is only really to raise awareness; the funds raised from sponsors go to the Prostate Cancer Charity. (The one linked to above is the UK one, I believe there are others for different countries.) Does that help?
The Movember site has this to say:
Forgot to link to the Movember site above, so have added it – thanks, Kyle.
