You may have noticed some questionable lip caterpillars growing at PRICE and all over town last month.

 

We’re here with a final update and farewell (thank goodness!) for the mustaches of PRICE!

You may have heard of MO-vember, or No Shave November before, but what’s all the fuss? Despite what it looks like, Movember isn’t just about seeing who can grow the worst moustache!

 

Movember is actually the name of a charitable organization determined to change the face of men’s health! This amazing charity was founded in 2003 in Melbourne Australia where a group of friends wanted to bring back the trend of moustaches. This grew quickly into a month long movement aimed to raise awareness about the most common health issues men face and how they’re rarely talked about.

 

The Movember Foundation focuses on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, as well as mental health and suicide prevention for men.

 

1 in 7 Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime and testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men. Movember wants to make sure that men are getting regular checkups and that they know the signs, symptoms, and risk factors  for prostate and testicular cancer.

 

1 in 5 Canadians will experience a mental health problem or illness in their life. Half of those people are men, but unfortunately males have a much lower rate of seeking help and treatment for mental health. The Movember Foundation is working to help men and boys stay mentally healthy, build strong social connections and take action early when things get tough. This movement is about making sure men feel comfortable having conversations about the big things in life without fear of judgement.

 

Every November men across the world grow moustaches and raise money for research and awareness about these issues.   T

 

he men (and women) of PRICE did their part this year and were able to donate almost $2000 to this amazing cause. To reward the community that helped them raise this money we have some pretty epic moustache photos.

 

Let us know who’s moustache is your favourite!
