Movember

Movember was a movement created in 2004 by a group of Australian friends. Initially, the group was just discussing 70's fashion movements that'd never returned. Mustaches came up in their conversation, and later they began discussing men's health. They began to connect the two into what they began to call "Movember". They began growing their mustaches in the month of November to promote men's health such as: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and other mental health issues. They thought that they needed to spread the word that although prostate cancer isn't as well known as breast cancer, it kills as many men as breast cancer does women. Since then, they have been spreading their movement across the world and donating the money they raise to hundreds of institutions that study cancer.
