What: Mo-vemberGet sponsored to grow an outrageous moustache and keep it for the entire month of Mo-vember. Men can get sponsored individually or in teams. Nathan and his male colleagues at Ranford Road Veterinary Clinic are all involved.
Why: The sponsorships raise money for Men's Health, in Australia they focus on Prostate Cancer and Mental Health. These issues are close to both our hearts....as Nathan's grandfather and my dad have been affected.
How: Each participant asks friends and family to sponsor him to grow the mustache. The participant endures 1 month of facial hair with regular teasing and intermittent giggles. For instance, at about 1 week into it, one participant (who shall remain nameless) faced his loving wife to kiss her goodnight, but she started giggling because it was like sleeping with Emilio Estevez from Stakeout.
Participants also report they face endless commentary about the quality of their mustache (what is that the reverse hitler?), who the mustache makes them look like (Seth Green, really?). After a few weeks, participants grow more comfortable with the mustache beginning classic mo behaviours such as the "goatee stroke" and other such grooming (which returns said wife to giggles).
It is a great deal to endure...but it's for a good cause.

We want to know your thoughts...but remember Nathan is enduring your jeering for charity. So...if you want to tease him, at least pay for the privilege.

I cliked the link, but they say that donations are closed right now. I remain undaunted, however, and will keep trying.
In the meantime, Nathan needs to lay off the chocolate milk. Seriously.
"...but she started giggling because it was like sleeping with Emilio Estevez from Stakeout."
Oh the humanity!
I have decided to participate. I will stop shaving my legs for one month. Be glad it's not bathing suit season.
Update picture requested! Movember's nearly over!
I never got the donation site to work. Must be they don't trust pesky Americans.
I'll ditto what Hilary said...no dough-nations, but need mo' mo.
try just
www.movember.com
instead of the Australia site.
Hit donate, then search for him by name
