It’s Movember!

If things seem a little hairy these days, you’re not going crazy. It’s Movember (formerly the month known as November)! That’s right – men around the world are forgoing shaving again this month and attempting their best Tom Selleck impressions. So no matter how creepy or clownish a ‘stache looks on someone you know and/or love, keep in mind they’re probably growing it out to raise money and awareness for cancers that affect men like prostate cancer. The event started in 1999 and continues to grow each year.

While I’ve done my share of volunteering/donating to support breast cancer awareness, which is important to me as a woman, I never really thought twice about supporting causes specifically for men. However, I thought it was pretty cool that my friend Adam was participating in such a worthy cause for his gender. In my world where I believe in doing small things with great love, he is truly helping change the face of men’s health in a simple (and entertaining) way.

If you don’t know a Mo Bro, follow Adam’s progress as he posts weekly ‘stache updates on Mo Space. Actually, check out the whole team of teachers at Falls Church High School participating and please consider donating to their cause! They definitely deserve some support this month for sporting those silly ‘staches. They might not be as cute as a little pink ribbon, but it’s equally important to get the word out on men’s health.

Just out of curiosity – who tops your list of best mustaches of all time? Mike Ditka? Burt Reynolds? Walter Cronkite? So many possibilities…
