Movember 16, 2011


Each year during the month of Movember, formerly known as November, thousands of men put down the Gillette and store away the shave cream and after balm for one specific cause- men’s Prostate cancer. A once upon a time story that no one really spoke of… well the time has come- to grow in your Mo.

This is how it all works; on Movember 1st, men start off with a clean shave, and register at Movember.com. They post their MOivation, daily MOshots, MOments and MOstories- the main goal is to raise awareness and MOney. The donations are made out to a team or a MO Bro.

These courageous men are literally walking and talking billboards for this 30-day campaign. Even if you don’t watch CP24, or partake on FB and Twitter, you will hear about this MOvement just by going to your local grocery store. The MO’s are taking over-stache by stache.

By the 30th day, huge MO-parties and events all over the world take place, be it private parties by local teams and leagues or major galas by big time supporters. In 2010, nearly 119,000 Canadian Mo Bros and Mo Sistas got on board, raising $22.3 million CAD
