Movember 2022: Ready, Set, Mo!
Tousled. Patchy. Epic. Wispy. ‘It is there, the lighting in the room has to be just right’. Whatever your style, grow your moustache for Movember 2022 to raise money for men's health such as prostate and testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention.
Movember is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide.
Now in it’s 19th year, Movember has helped fund more than 1,200 innovative men's health projects across 20 countries.
It’s a chance to talk to others about how they’re getting on, any health worries they’re having, and encourage them to find help if they need it.
If you’re taking part, share your progress with Marcomms for a mention in Team Brief throughout November
Movember is open to everyone and there are different charities and causes you can raise money for.
Get ready to grow
In the spirit of the challenge, there are a few rules to follow:
- Begin with a clean-shaven face, ready to start growing on 1 November
- Grow and groom your moustache all through November
- Beards, goatees, and fake moustaches don’t count
- Use your moustache as a conversation starter to talk about men’s health, and why you’re taking part
- Have fun, and encourage others taking part
See if you can take photos, and track the progress for that epic moustache.
