Movember

I was reading the commuting section of the BikeRadar forum the other day (I now feel that I can legitimately read this section, as I do actually ride my bike to work sometimes...) and I stumbled across what I thought was a typo. The post was titled 'Movember'. On reading it, I realised that it wasn't a slip of the keyboard at all, more a call to arms for all red blooded males! Movember is all about men (or should that be real men?) growing moustaches (or mo's) during the course of November to raise awareness of prostate cancer.

Basically, you grow a furry top lip, look like an idiot, and any time anyone asks you what you were thinking, you ask them for a donation (£1?) I am looking to raise 50 quid over the month if I can. I have started a team (Mellow Jonnys) and have asked a few friends to join me on the caterpillar trail. Whether they will or not remains to be seen. Specifically, I have asked my Dad and my brother. I think it would be kind of cool to have three Moulson Mo's on the go...;-)

Today is day one, I am clean shaven, as instructed and will try and keep you updated on what appears over the next thirty days...

Happy growing,
