Movember 2010

movemberIt’s only been around a few years, but this year seemed the biggest so far for Movember, the month where men will grow a ‘stache and raise some awareness and cash for prostate cancer research. A group of my friends decided to do it again this year, so I jumped on board and entered the world of furry facial fun. What this great fundraiser creates, of course, is some great trash-talking amongst your peers about the look or lack of your moustache.

 

I was personally hearing it from all sides. As my parents are both Italian, I guess it was my God-given right to be able to grow a thick moustache in hours. I couldn’t really argue my buddies’ point since I did start shaving when I was 12. I still remember, in grade 7, there was myself and one of my best friends, George, who is Portuguese, being the only two guys in junior high who not only had moustaches, but chest hair. Mind you, the chest hair for both of us pretty much consisted of little afros around our nipples!

Whether you kept your “mo” or had to let it go, congratulations and thank you to everyone who participated and donated to this worthy cause. It ended up being a fun
contest and hopefully made it a little easier for guys to talk about prostate cancer. Make sure to book your annual check-up and when it comes down to that moment: remember to bend your knees because your doctor is going to grab a little goop and give you a finger swoop, right in the shoot. It will take three seconds and could end up saving your life. May I just suggest that you book your physical for when your doctor returns from their holidays—they are less stressed and their fingers aren’t swollen.
