That time of the year again is coming around when the clean shaven boys turn to rough and ready hairy men…Its Movember!
Movember is the annual event that occurs every year during the month of November. In 2004, the Movember Foundation was founded, starting off in Australia and spreading across the globe, it now has campaigns running in Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, the UK, Finland, the Netherlands, Spain, South Africa and Ireland. The rules are simple, start the 1st of November with a clean shave, then for the rest of the 30 day month let that tash grow! Grooming and trimming is allowed to shape and craft the moustache.
The purpose for “Mo bro’s” is to grow their moustaches is to raise awareness and funds for male cancer, specifically for prostate and testicular cancer. Both The Prostate Cancer Charity and The Institute of Cancer Research are the people who help to raise awareness, education and to carry out further research for the male cancers. Last year £11.7 million was raised in the UK by 112,000 Mo Bro’s and supporting Mo Sister’s.
Trent this year is taking part in Movember again…that includes you! To take part, boys you will need to register with Movember.com, start getting friends and family to sponsor you and get all your male friends and family to join in! Girls you need to support the boys and encourage your Dads, boyfriend, friends and even lectures to get involved and sponsor them! Also maybe some fashion advice in tash style wouldn’t go a miss.
To get involved with Trent Movember and keep up to date with updates and the progress from the rest of the Trent army boys, like the facebook page of “Trent does Movember”. Also if you have any photos send them to us at Platfrom (lifestyle@platform-online.net) to let the whole of Trent see your Mo! Good luck and get raising the money!
