Moustache on Nanikore

Movember 2014

It’s November, and that means it’s Movember aims to raise money and awareness of men’s health, especially prostate and testicular cancer by simply growing a mustache during the month. It’s a worthy cause, so feel free to donate via my link, the team I’m in, or via their website.

Movember 2013

It’s November again, which means it’s Movember, raise money for men’s health organizations. Simple enough?

I did this last year and found it surprisingly more involving than I expected. That furry top lip becomes a talking point, and people - men and women - are genuinely interested if they haven’t heard it before. Take a look, and maybe make a donation here.

(I know this is my first post in a while. I’ve just been busy. It’s nothing personal!)

The Last Day of Movember

Well, all good things as they say, must come to an end, and here we are at the last day of Movember, and I have to say I have grown fond of my moustache, but alas, it will be coming off tomorrow morning. Mine was quite conservative - I was tempted by some of the more liberal styles, but I had a business trip, some important visitors, and a friend’s wedding during the month, so I went for something simple.

Of course, Movember is also about raising money, so I’d like to thank everyone who donated to all the ‘Mo Bros’, and especially to those who donated 420 USD through my page - it really means a lot.

So last year I did NaNoWriMo; this year I did the much easier Movember, so who knows what’ll happen next November - perhaps I’ll do both.

Only a week left in Movember

So we’re over 75% through Movember and that top lip isn’t looking too bad, albeit after a slow start, so that means there’s only a week left!

Check progress over on my Movember page.

It might be surprising, but I’ve never done a moustache before - I’ve always been more of a beard type of person, preferring the full set if I’m going to be unshaven. Whilst I’ve gotten used to it, I think I’ll be shaving it off that first week of December.

Still, that gives everyone more time to donate to the men’s health programmes they support, so the next time you’re getting your prostate checked, throw some thanks to the Movember people.
