It’s one of my favourite months! The month formerly known as November. Yes, MOVEMBER is upon us and Stylejuicer is supporting all Mo Bros in their efforts to grow the finest, thickest and shiniest moustache known to men.
As an enthusiastic Mo Sista and living with three ‘men’ (ok, two of which aren’t yet at moustache growing age)
I wanted to get involved and help change the face of Men’s Health one moustache at a time! So here’s a little Movember badge designed by my good self for you to download, share and post online. Help spread the Movember love!
For all those not familiar with Generation Mo, here is a bit of background info:
Movember, the month formerly known as November, is when men around the world grow a moustache for 30 days, with the support of the women in their lives, to raise awareness and funds for men’s health – specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men’s mental health.
Movember started in Melbourne, Australia in 2003 with a few friends who wanted to bring back a past fashion trend – the moustache. That year, 30 guys participated but no money was raised. In 2004, amazed by the fun they had and the conversations that were sparked, four of the 30 original members came together to make their Mo-growing an annual, official charitable endeavor by adding an important cause – prostate cancer. That year, 450 participants raised $43,000 AUD for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.
Now in 2013, there are official Movember campaigns in 21 countries and in 2012 over £92 million was raised globally. To get involved and sign up visit Movember.com
The concept totally appeals to my sense of humour and I’m changing my profile picture on my social media sites for the month of Movember to show support as well as posting regular updates on the Movember phenomenon.
