Happy Movember!

Halloween signifies the end of the scary season, and the start of a healthy one. Movember, formally known as November, is a month dedicated to men’s health. More specifically, Movember is a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for cancers that affect men.

The Movember bunch has teamed up with the Prostrate Cancer Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation and all proceeds are divided evenly at the end of the month.

What I really like about Movember is that it’s non-exclusionary. That’s right, “Mo Mamas” can participate in Movember as well. I also just really like the vibe around the whole event. It’s a serious cause, but that doesn’t mean people can’t have fun with it.

I’m personally growing a Mo this month, much to my wife’s chagrin, to help raise awareness for the cause. If you’re able, I think you should too.

  • I can't grow a mustache for the life of me.
  • The stache is definitely in development mode. I'm trying not to unveil it publicly until it is within a mature point in that process... :)
  • Chris, I for one am appreciative to all the folks who are bringing awareness to these important and often neglected mens' health issues. My question - and I think I speak for all CrumpleItUp readers - is when do we get to see a picture of your #awesome 'stache? I know that your ever-patient wife must be taking daily photographs so that she can fondly remember this phase of your halliciousness.
