It polarises opinion like marmite, but for one month of the year, whether you love it or hate it, males across the globe will have the opportunity to sport the kind of facial hair usually reserved for the Starsky and Hutch, Hulk Hogan, BBC period dramas – and porn movies (so I’m told).
And it’s all for Charity.
The craze of Movember started, predictably enough, in Australia. In 2003, a chap called Justin Coghlan and some close friends decided to grow moustaches. Now, seven years later, more than a quarter of a million chaps from around the world (and possibly some South American women) will be raising awareness – and money – to help fight prostate cancer.
Despite the fun, the disease itself is no laughing matter, with more than 36,000 men being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in the UK alone last year.
The rules are easy. Start off with a clean shaven face and you have 30 days to groom yourself the moustache you know you’ve always wanted. And try and earn some money to help fight prostate cancer at the same time by logging onto www.movember.com
