Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a charity event held during November each year - the challenge is to change the face of men's health. (I'm sure all my pun-loving friends will appreciate that one.)
Men lack awareness about the very real health issues they face. Many feel they have to be tough - "a real man" - and are reluctant to see a doctor about an illness or to go for regular medical check ups.
The aim of Movember is to change these attitudes and make men's health fun by putting the Mo back on the face of men everywhere while raising some serious funds for the number one men's health issue, prostate cancer.
A friend in England is growing a "classic rock star mo" to raise money for the prostate cancer charity. Love it!But this isn't just for the English...it all started here in the good ol' U S of A. Jump in, boys...there's still time to grow a fabulous mo!!
