Every year, for one month, perfectly normal men across the globe, begin obsessively competing to grow the wildest, bushiest facial hair they can muster in 28 days to raise money for charity. But there's more to Movember than championing a new 'tache to show off on Facebook.
Movember started in Australia 13 years ago when a group of friends decided to revive the (then deeply unfashionable) idea of the moustache. They were so blown away by the response that the following year they made ‘Grow a Mo’ a charity campaign in a bid to change the face of men’s health.
Today, Movember operates in 21 countries with £443 million pounds raised so far and £41 million raised last year alone!
This November, organizers are reaching out to women too. “Movember is about spreading the word to your brothers, dads boyfriends and husbands so we can raise awareness on the 3 biggest male killers – prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and suicide.” says Global Director Sarah Coghlan. “We’re funding 1200 projects around the world, and breaking stigmas along the way.”
With days to go till the madness kicks off and your Social media feeds become awash with so called ‘Mo Brothers’ showcasing their man-hair, here are a few ideas of the kind Tache to grow.
