ADVERTORIAL

Movember, Generation Moustache. Movember is about changing the face of men’s health one moustache at a time. Mo Bros start the month clean-­shaven, and then grow and groom their moustache all month long, flying the Mo flag for the 30 nights and hairy days of Movember. Mo Bros and Mo Sista’s raise funds and much needed awareness around the often-­ignored issues of men’s health -­specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men’s mental health. The Movember journey began in 2003 with a few mates in a pub in Melbourne, Australia. The goal was simple – to create a campaign promoting the growth of the moustache among like-­minded people and have fun along the way. It is about real men growing

real moustaches, talking about real issues to help to change the face of men’s health. Movember now spans the globe with campaigns in 21 countries. In 2012, over 1.1 million Mo Bros and Mo Sista’s pledged their allegiance to the moustache and raised over £92 million globally. In the UK, there were over 363,000 participants raising over £27 million. There is strength in numbers and together we can change the face of men’s health. Crank up the volume, make some noise and fight the good fight. This is Movember. You are Generation Moustache. We are Gen Mo. Sign up today at movember.com Article and images contributed
