In honour of Movember (Mo(ustache No)vember), I decided to shave my beard down to a stache for a couple days.
I guess the whole tradition started in Australia where people started fundraising for research prostate and testicular cancer by getting sponsors for their month long moustaches. In North America it became more of a beard growing thing (kind of like the play-off beard) in order to raise awareness.
Apparently, 1 in 6 men get prostate cancer. This is a "fact" from the internet, so don't quote me, but even if just half that many people get it, it makes for quite the issue to be aware of. I sure don't want it.
So, when you see my moustache, think "take care of your prostate" or "keep your testes healthy."
