Movember Doers of the Month: All my Mo Bros and Mo Sistas!

November is almost over... but I have some great doers for you: All the people across Canada, and the world, taking park in Movember this year.

Hats off and tiny combs out to you lovely, lovely men (and the ladies raising awareness and giving support).

In case you don't know:

"During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in Canada and around the world. With their “Mo’s”, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostate cancer and male mental health initiatives."      From movember.com

As a moustache sporting bro, you can sign up on Movember's website, and collect donations that go to raising awareness for men's health initiatives.

It's something that most people agree on: It's about time. Sure, it's a stereotype to say that men don't talk about their health, or men hate admitting something is wrong, but you have to admit it's never been talked about on this scale.

The initiatives go from your neighbour asking for loonies, to sports channels and  hockey equipment manufacturers teaming up to raise funds:



And the fundraising is working!



Ask around. You definitely know someone who is participating. Hell, you probably know 8.

You've got  four days left, you lumberjack angels, you hipster lovelies, you greazy animals. GROW THOSE MOS!

Donate. Get involved. Learn something new.

And next time you see a guy with a greazy stache, don't cringe. Fundraising is sexy. Am I right, ladies?

I am.
