As HTBS has often previously posted, November is Movember. The Movember Foundation says that it ‘is the leading global organisation committed to changing the face of men’s health’. According to Wikipedia:
Movember (a portmanteau of the Australian-English diminutive word for moustache, ‘mo’, and ‘November’) is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of various cancers, such as prostate cancer. The Movember Foundation runs the Movember charity event, housed at Movember.com.…… Movember aims to increase early cancer detection, diagnosis and effective treatments, and ultimately reduce the number of preventable deaths…. (The) Movember Foundation also encourages men….. to adopt a healthier lifestyle….. The Movember Foundation has since (1999) raised $174-million worldwide…..
In the past, many rowers sported some wonderful facial hair all year around.
