Reasons to love November
I finally made it to November; you see this is one of my favorite months, for many reasons, there are lots of holidays, Thanksgiving, Veteran’s Day but honestly it’s the weather. You see usually by November even Arizona has started to have better weather, and when you live in the valley of the sun that’s a reason to celebrate! However today as I was outside enjoying the outstanding weather I heard on the radio about an event that gives us one more reason to be thankful we have reached November: MOVEMBER
Movember is a month-long celebration of the moustache, highlighting men’s health issues - specifically prostate and testicular cancer. The idea for Movember was sparked in 2003 over a few beers in Melbourne, Australia. The guys behind it joked about 80s fashion and decided it was time to bring the moustache back. In order to justify their Mos (Australian slang for moustache), they used their new looks to raise money for prostate cancer research… never dreaming that facial hair would ultimately lead to a global movement that would get men talking about a taboo subject – their health.
What a neat event, you can start today by learning more about men’s health issues or you can start by growing your hairy ribbon of heath and take on a cause. Either way you will leave with a better education and that’s the real point!
Happy Movember!
