MOVEMBER: Let's Do Our Part!

                                                                                                                                             Author: Hanna

It's November and it's time to do our part for Movember!


Movember is an annual month long event that involves the growing of moustaches in the month of November. It began when a group of Australian man came up with the idea of growing moustaches for charity which snowballed throughout the country causing a "Mo-phenomenon" as many got involved with it.


Today, Movember do not only represent the men in Australia but every men as it has spread throughout the whole world raising awareness and funds for men's health issues specifically prostate cancer and depression in men.


There are rules of conduct given on the Movember site which states:-


1. Once registered at movember.com each mo bro must begin the 1st of Movember with a clean shaven face
2. For the entire month of Movember each mo bro must grow and groom a moustache
3. There is to be no joining of the mo to your side burns. (That’s considered a beard.)
4. There is to be no joining of the handlebars to your chin. (That’s considered a goatee.)
5. Each mo bro must conduct himself like a true country gentleman


At the end of the month, Mo bros and Mo sistas (female supporters) celebrate their victory by either throwing a Movember party of their own or by attending one of them infamous parties that are held all around the world by Movember for Movember.


Anyone and everyone can do their part for Movember and it's for a good cause so why not have fun with it!
