"Movember": Tomorrow

October 31, 2024, at home

Remember, "Movember 2024" starts tomorrow (November 1, 2024).

"Movember" is an annual, month-long event when men around the world grow moustaches throughout the month of November to raise awareness of and to raise funds to combat cancers that afflict men (prostate, testicular, penile); men's suicide prevention; and men's overall physical and mental health. I have participated every November for decades.

Millions of funds are raised worldwide every year through fundraisers and donations, with the United States, Canada, Australia, and India typically raising the most money. European countries also do well with raising funds.

Of course, the name "Movember" is a combination of "moustache" and "November." Men start clean shaven on November 1 (every year) and grow their "stashes" throughout the month, so if you notice more guys with moustaches in your travels, that's why.

For more information, here is the link to one of the many "Movember" websites:

There is also something called "No-Shave November," when men don't shave at all during that month, so you may see more beards than usual, too.

Many women also don't shave during November in support of us guys. (no joke)

Remember that November is National Men's Health Awareness Month, and November 19 (every year) is International Men's Day.

SAVE THE MALES !!!
