The END of MOvember

I must say that I won't be sad to see the walrus tusk like mustache go.

And I am cringing a little bit at the discussion of a "monkey tail" or a "present ribbon" for next years Movember goals.


But I am glad that Peter is helping out a great cause of men's health that
doesn't get as much talk.

It's true I hadn't seen this fresh face in 5 years.

And I'm pretty sure the beard will be coming back for December.

So if you are in the holiday spirit and want to do a little giving to a good cause, today is your last chance to donate to Peter's Movember Team and help support prostate cancer and testicular cancer initiatives.


If you are up for it here's the link to Peter's team's page- 

One more day till we get less weird looks out in public :) hehe





Here's a little history from the official Movember website:

Movember - a global movement
Since its humble beginnings in Melbourne, Australia, Movember has grown to become a truly global movement inspiring more than 1.9 Million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas to participate with formal campaigns in Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, the UK, South Africa, Ireland, Finland, the Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Belgium and the Czech Republic. In addition, Movember is aware of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas supporting the campaign and men’s health cause across the globe, from Russia to Dubai, Hong Kong to Antarctica, Rio de Janeiro to Mumbai, and everywhere in between.

No matter the country or city, Movember will continue to work to change established habits and attitudes men have about their health, to educate men about the health risks they face, and to act on that knowledge, thereby increasing the chances of early detection, diagnosis and effective treatment.

In 2011, over 854,000 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas around the world got on board, raising $126.3 million USD.
