October’s been a pretty eventful month for us, with Gioia’s parents who came for a visit (story and pics on the blog, of course), myself pretty busy with the refereeing (with good news promotion-wise on that end), halloween bowling and baking extravaganza at work.
But now it’s time to leave October behind – my AC Milan calendar (my mum gives me one as a present for Christmas every year) has Ronaldinho and Papastathopoulos on the October page, so it’s probably about time – and enter one of the most exciting months of the year, Movember.
Yep, you read that right, it’s Movember. November is boring, cold, there’s less light in the day and all that. Movember is cool and fun. “What is Movember?”, I hear some of you ask.
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 other cancers that affect men.
What that means in practice is I’m going to “donate my face” for the whole of the month, will grow a moustache and will raise funds and awareness for the likes of The Prostate Cancer Charity, The Institute of Cancer Research and of course The Movember Foundation.
And that’s what I’ll do. What can you do? You can help me in my journey of ever-growing facial hair in the upper-lip region and (please!) donate what you can.
We’re getting pretty excited about all this at We Are Social Towers, and we’ve set up a 10+ strong team (which you can donate to directly in case, say, you hate me but love We Are Social) ready to kick off clean shaven on Tuesday morning (our progress will of course be trackable on the dedicated Tumblr) and to grow lovely moustaches for charity for the coming 30 days.
So please, show us your support: grow your own Mo or help us raise funds! (and thanks once again to everyone who supported Gioia)
