Don’t forget to donate
For all the hairy-lipped hilarity that Movember can bring, there is a serious side to the month of mo’s. The Movember Foundation raises funds during November to deliver programs that allow men to live happier, healthier and longer lives. This includes funds for projects focusing on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity. If you know someone who is avoiding the razor in aid of men’s health this month don’t forget to donate.
