Movember

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men's faces in the UK and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.

On Movember 1st, guys register at Movember.com with a clean-shaven face and then for the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.

Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November and through their actions and words raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men's health.

At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their gallantry and valor by either throwing their own Movember party or attending one of the infamous Gala Partés held around the world by Movember, for Movember.

I am part of a team with some friends in an attempt to look rediculous towards the end of the month and to raise some money along the way.

Anyone else taking part? Initially I intended this to be a laugh but have strangely taken a more serious approach

i LOVE Movember. i find moustaches hilarious anyways so this is a month of pure comedy gold for me

Zany, wacky, mental and crazy. People who grow moustaches are muckle funny.

The final result

Brettly -

careful you don't stick your head out of the bedroom window 'cos the wind will blow the fluff off

keep the cat away 'cos if it licks your face the fluff will come away

aye, the old ones are always the best

The final result

I think I saw it move!

Okay kiddie winkles.

I am partaking in Movember again but this year I thought that I would actually ask for donations as opposed to just growing a moustache.

Clean shaven for the first time in about 10 years but should be on schedule for a handlebar in time to go to Manchester.

Shaving was painful, there was blood and hair and screams so donate just for that if you like.

Seems like the girls, and the odd bloke I know, are getting in on the act as well. What I want to know is why men get to grow a bit of extra hair when its cold and we poor women .....

Yes folks, I'm back1 (at last). I've not been able to access the site for a few weeks but somebody's worked a miracle. My word you have been busy. There's an awful lot to catch up on.

I was a little late in starting but it's getting going now.
