It's nearly Movember

Women, brace yourselves for a sharp increase in the number of mustachioed males around the country … Movember is nearly upon us.
Men, register on www.movember.com ... and enjoy that smooth upper lip while you can. You might want to research the type of mo you want to go for:
- The beard type chart (this guy has done most of them)
- The World Beard Championships gallery
- Mustache styles, from Dali to Fu Manchu
And give generously. Half the funds raised will go to the Cancer Society of New Zealand to fund prostate cancer research and support services, and the other half will go to the New Zealand Mental Health Foundation’s ‘Out of The Blue’ campaign to help men experiencing depression.
Last year, 26,484 Kiwi men took part, raising over $2 million.
Founding Movember Mo Bro Jim Slattery says Movember in New Zealand has become a case study for the rest of the world, and he credits Kiwis with helping to make Movember a success on a global scale.
“Last year there were enough Kiwi's participating to almost fill Mt Smart Stadium (26,000) which was amazing. Registrations and funds raised have more than doubled year on year so the challenge is on for New Zealand to get behind it and go for the number one global Mo ranking again”.
