Movember: When moustaches make a difference

Movember: When moustaches make a difference

Movember, formally known as November, the month of the moustache, is taking the (now hairy) world by storm. Movember originated in Adelaide, Australia, seven years ago and was founded by the "Movember Committee".

Movember has since exploded into an international phenomenon that takes place in eleven countries and is enjoyed by many "Mo Bros" (guys representing Movember by growing a mo or donating) and "Mo Sistas" (girls standing behind their Mo Bros and Movember) in support of men's health issues worldwide.

An interesting advertising campaign currently running in Singapore raises money and awareness for prostate cancer. They use the faces of celebrities and renowned personalities on their posters, who all seem to have one thing in common: the manly moustache.

The Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) raised more than R240 000 in the month of Movember 2009. It just goes to show the power of the stache'. Show your support by following the campaign on Facebook and Twitter or by donating money to the cause.

Movember is even affecting mobile and online applications. Apple created the MoPhone app, which allows you to take daily photos of your mo and create a video of your "mo-gress". SocialMo, a South African Facebook application, is trying to raise R50 000 in support of CANSA's Men's Health Campaign.

Be a man and grow your mo. Just remember to abide by the rules!
