ARE YOU A MO SISTA?

Or a Mo Bro?  














Welcome to Movember!!!
Movember is the contraction of moustache (bigote) and November in English.
It's a annual event that takes place during November involving the growing of moustaches during that month to raise awareness of men's health issues (prostate cancer and other male cancers).
Movember Foundation is one of the Top 100 NGOs (non-goverment organization) in the world. They organize events around the world to raise funds for research men's health issues.
It has spread from Australia to South Africa, Europe and North America. 

The origins of  Movember are in Adelaide, South Australia, in 1999, where a group of young men coined the term and the idea of growing moustaches for charity throughout the month of November. The group started 80 men and soon became a nation wide phenomenon.
Since then, the Movember Foundation has raised $174 million worldwide. Last year, 2012, 1.1 million people signed up to participate.
