MULTIMEDIA: Be a Bro and Grow a Mo

Movember officially kicked off and is time to show and not shave off!

In South Africa, prostate cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men.

The rules require each Mo Bro to start 1 Movember (November) clean shaven and to grow and groom a moustache for the entire month, effectively becoming a walking, talking billboard for the 30 days of Movember.

What is Movember?

 The idea for Movember was born in 2003 in Melbourne, Australia. In the first-ever Movember challenge, a group of 30 Aussie friends (self-proclaimed “Mo Bros”) challenged each other to grow out their mustaches for an entire month, simply to see if they could bring the style back to popularity.
Surprised by their bold mustaches’ ability to spark conversation, the founders decided to attach the challenge to a worthy yet overlooked cause: men’s health and The Movember Foundation was born.

Today, The Movember Project draws international participants from America, Europe, South Africa, Canada, New Zealand, China, and more.

Since its humble beginning with only 30 entrants, there have been over 5.2 million Movember participants, and a whopping $710 million has been raised. Over the last 13 years, 1,200 men’s health projects have been funded with record-setting donations.

The Letaba Herald challenges all men to get involved and help men live happier healthier longer lives.
