What are you doing this Movember?
JOBURG – It is Movember time again and men and women alike are encouraged to share their 'stache' and support for this good cause.
November has rolled around again and men would have already started growing their moustaches in support of Movember.
Movember aims to create awareness about prostate and testicular cancer by encouraging men to grow a moustache for the month of November. However, there are many other ways to get involved in this annual initiative such as participating in sporting activities or hosting events to raise money for the cause.
This is not a men-only initiative as women can get involved as well.
North riding resident and TV personality, Danine Naidoo, is a ‘Mo Sista’ for the second year in a row. A ‘Mo Sista’ is a female ambassador for the Movember initiative.
Naidoo got involved with the Movember Foundation as she feels that the more women who become involved in the cause, the more awareness is created. “The Movember Foundation South Africa can do more if everyone works together.”
Naidoo added that women excel at creating attention around a cause and since October is dedicated to breast cancer awareness, it is only fair that women help do the same for men in November.
“I want to say to all the women of Joburg that it can be very sexy to wear a moustache,” Naidoo said in jest. She encouraged all women to get involved and wear a moustache, drawn on or otherwise, with pride and to work together to amplify the movement.
Naidoo looks forward to getting involved in Movember events around Johannesburg this month.
