·2022 marks my eighth year of spectacularly awful moustache growth.
I have proven beyond question that I am not good at growing a moustache.
But each year I remove the beardy mess that hides my double chin, and hand over my upper lip to a good cause for a full 30 days.
Now you may ask why I put myself, or indeed those I love through this - well, partially because I quite like it and it is the only time of the year that my long suffering partner will allow such silliness, but primarily because it announces to the world that I am raising money for the Movember Foundation - A leading charity that is changing the face of men’s health - And supporting their mission to stop men dying too young, of testicular cancer, prostate cancer, and through suicide.
This is a mission that I think is incredibly important.
Just looking at the simple numerical facts - Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men, prostate cancer the most common cancer in men overall, and suicide the biggest killer of men aged under 50 globally, with the loss of one man’s life every minute.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if no man had to lose their life to these three things?
I think so.
To help make this a reality, over the last few years I’ve grown moustaches and raffled off horological goodies with the support of some wonderful people and companies.
So far we’ve collectively raised £45,276.
Which is epic. And thanks to the ongoing support of some truly fantastic friends at some spectacularly generous companies, continues in 2022.
