In a couple of days men all over the world will forsake shaving their top lips and attempt to nurture some facial hair growth in support of the Movember campaign, a month long charity event that seeks to raise awareness of men’s health issues. Being a man (possibly with issues) and additionally already possessing a fine beard I’ll be donating my face to the cause and proudly sporting a moustache all through next month to do my bit to help bring this strangely taboo subject out in to the open.
Because it’s true that when are not good at dealing with personal health issues, whether it’s admitting that they are feeling depressed or arranging a normal check-up, men, me, you (if you’re a man) probably even Tom Selleck, don’t take looking after themselves seriously enough. Movember is a movement that began a few years ago in Australia to get men talking about prostate cancer, a disease that will affect 1 in 9 men. Now the charity has grown worldwide, with over 100,000 participants in the UK and over 1 million around the globe.
So to the crunch; on the 1st November I will be shaving off my beard, which I’ve lovingly tended for over 2 years, and starting afresh. As bonus fun I’m asking people who donate to the charity through my Movember page to vote on what kind of moustache I should grow.
Vote 1. Jason Lee
Vote 2. Hulk Hogan
Vote 3. Ming the Merciless
Vote 4. Monkey Tail Beard
So if you fancy dipping into your pocket to support a very worthy cause please check out my Movember page, I’ll also be bombarding my social media channels with moustache related goodness. Onward MoBros!
