Founder & CEO of Finetooth Consulting commits to growing out a full moustache in November, to bring awareness to cancer that affects men across the United States.
Movember is the annual, world-wide charity movement dedicated to changing the face of men's health- all through the power of the moustache.
Men start clean-shaven on Movember 1st, then grow their moustache for 30 days while raising funds and awareness for men's health, specifically cancer affecting men in the US.
Since it's humble beginning in Melbourne, Australia in 2003, Movember has grown into a global movement, with more than 1.1 million participants raising $174M USD to date. In the US, Movember raises funds for our men's health partners, the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) and LIVESTRONG, the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
