[pelicans] Movember

[Graham Brooks]

Folks, 

November is almost upon us and as some of you may know, each year I donate my face to to charity in order to raise money.
The charity is called 'Movember'.
During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in the UK and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

Once registered at movember.com each Mo Bro must begin the 1st of Movember with a clean shaven face. For the entire month each Mo Bro must grow and groom a moustache. There is to be no joining of the mo to the sideburns (that’s considered a beard), there’s to be no joining of the handlebars to the chin (that’s considered a goatee) and each Mo Bro must conduct himself like a true gentleman.A Mo Sista is essentially a woman who loves a Mo. An individual that is dedicated to supporting the Mo Bros in her life through their moustache growing journey; whether it be a friend, colleague, family member or partner. These inspirational women are committed to raising awareness of men's health issues and much needed funds for men's health along the way.Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November and through their actions and words raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their Movember journey throwing their own Movember parties or attending one of the Gala Partés held around the world to stand tall and celebrate the moustache.

This year I have created a Pelicans Hockey Club team - where we can all compete for monies raised and the best tash!
I’ve registered for Movember and pledged to grow a moustache for 30 days to raise funds and awareness for men’s health. This year, we honour the great men who have grown before us and, as Movember and Sons, pay respect to the simple truth, “Knowledge is Power, the Moustache is King.”As our forefathers always knew, the moustache is the mark of a man. Today, it is a man’s ribbon,a symbol to spark conversation and help change the face of men’s health.You can take part either by growing one Dirty Son of a Mo as a Mo Bro, or join as a Mo Sista to help recruit others, share knowledge and support Mo growers.To join my team of Movember Moustache Merchants go tohttps://www.movember.com/uk/register/details/team_id/454161 If you'd like to find out more about the type of work you'd be helping to fund by supporting Movember, take a look at the Programs We Fund section on the Movember website:http://uk.movember.com/about/funding-overview/

Please join the team and join in the Mo' growin' fun.

I am hoping to arrange one last fund raise at the end of november where we will have prizes for best, biggest and longest tash!

Regards, 

Brooksie (Mo Bro)!!
