Hoping you all shaved today and are beginning the growth of your MOVEMBER moustaches.

http://ca.movember.com/

The Mo, slang for moustache, and November come together each year for Movember.

Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for prostate cancer. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days.

The idea for Movember was sparked in 2003 over a few beers in Melbourne, Australia. The plan was simple – to bring the moustache back as a bit of a joke and do something for men’s health. No money was raised in 2003, but the guys behind the Mo realized the potential a moustache had in generating conversations about men’s health. Inspired by the women around them and all they had done for breast cancer, the Mo Bros set themselves on a course to create a global men’s health movement.

In 2004 the campaign evolved and focused on raising awareness and funds for the number one cancer affecting men – prostate cancer. 432 Mo Bros joined the movement that year, raising $55,000 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia - representing the single largest donation they had ever received.

The Movember moustache has continued to grow year after year, expanding to Canada, the US, UK, New Zealand, Ireland, Spain, South Africa, the Netherlands and Finland.

In 2009, global participation of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas climbed to 255,755, with over one million donors raising $47 Million for Movember’s global beneficiary partners. We are proud to announce that last year’s Canadian campaign was the second largest in the world behind Australia, with 35,156 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas coming together to raise $7.8 million for Prostate Cancer Canada.

Already got one. I'm actually working on a beard now, which I've never grown in my life. Most jobs I've had required me to be clean shaven.

Keep it "Mo only" for the next month.
Tell people why.
Help raise awareness.
Be a "Beard-o" later.

Gosh, I've waited 47 years. I don't know if I can wait anymore.

Bump!
I am suprised Polydigm did not post here

Well, I've hardly ever had a moustache in my life. I've tried a full beard a couple of times. Four years ago was the last time I had a full beard and grew my hair at the same time. I got sick of it and starting shaving the whole lot off, but when I got to the mo and goatee I couldn't bring myself to keep going, I just had keep some of the hair. Not long after that I got tired of the moustache and that went so now I only have the goatee. My students keep nagging me to grow a mo for November but I won't do it.

The way I see it Barry, this should be a very dynamite show.

My moustache is coming along nicely, but my goatee leaves a lot to be desired.

Someone should find the picture from Daisy or Xyqa's party where everyone is wearing the imperials. I searched around, but no luck. Maybe its been disappeared.

I shaved my beard off back in July and am tempted to grow it back. I'd never have just a 'tache though, NEVER.
