Movember

I’ve written previously about my personal links to Prostate Cancer and November is an important month on the fund-raising calendar.  For those who have not heard of it November becomes Movember, with men across the world sporting unfashionable facial hair with the aim of raising awareness and, importantly, funds to fight male cancers.

Movember started out down under but has spread to the UK and elsewhere, where the Movember Foundation works with local charities (over here it’s The Prostate Cancer Charity).

Movember, day 28: the 'tache is unleashedI wanted to take part in Movember this year but had a number of professional and family commitments for which a half-grown moustache would have been inappropriate (or at least embarrassing to family members). So, my mo’ has been hiding under a beard all month, until last night when it was unleashed to the world.

Please support the fight against Prostate Cancer, by donating to Movember.

    No worries Claire – it all ends up in the same place :-)
