There's a group of people who started a foundation to raise awareness and money about men's health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer. Here's some info from their website http://us.movember.com/ :
On Movember 1st, guys register at Movember.com with a clean-shaven face. For the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.
Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.
At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their gallantry and valor by either throwing their own Movember party or attending one of the infamous Gala Partés held around the world by Movember, for Movember.
I won't be attempting to raise money, but I am going to keep my mustache to raise awareness, and I would like your help. You're supposed to start with a clean-shaven face, but I've already been growing this facial hair for a month, and my facial hair grows slowly, so I'm going to shave everything but my mustache. I want you guys to join me. On November 30, send me a picture of your mustache, and I'll post it to the blog, where everyone will get a chance to vote for their favorite. The top 3 will win a yet unspecified prize from me, along with my thanks for helping to spread the word. Ladies, feel free to post pictures of your fake mustache as well! I'll leave the voting up for a week, and I'll announce the winner on December 7. Good luck, and Happy Movember!
