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

Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:15:40 +0000

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.

Movember Begins Tomorrow!

As I mentioned in the last post, I’m not doing the very splendid and worth while NaNoWriMo this November. Instead, I’m doing Movember, which begins tomorrow, and is a charitable endeavour for gentlemen to grow a moustache and get some donations toward men’s health issues.

I’ll try to put some updates here, or on my Movember page, but I wont need to tell those who know me how silly I’ll look with a moustache, which is why, when I go for the facial hair, I tend towards the full set.

Of course, growing a moustache doesn’t require a lot of conscious effort, so I’ll be putting some time and energy into getting some support, or at least preparing some witty retorts for why I look like Baldrick with a slug on my top lip (sorry - very old joke). I haven’t actually decided which style I’m going for, so all ideas are welcome. On the [style guide](http://ex.movember.com/uploads/files/2012/Movember Style Guide.pdf) (warning: that’s a .pdf) I’m thinking the ‘Regent’, but I would love to be able to do the ‘Connoisseur’.

Anyway, please pop into the Movember website, and if you can click through to my page and make a donation to what is a very worthwhile cause.

Thanks.
