Movember


I'm all for holidays. All the the better when fundraising is involved. Usually I'm in in the know about these things, but as I'm learning...I have A LOT to learn
Last week, when I was at the school I noticed the male teachers' lack of shaving. Normally, I'm not sure I would have given them a second look, as they usually look so clean shaven and boyish. Any additional facial growth is blatently apparant. What was with these new moustaches and goutees. Was there some sort of bravado competition going on?
Once again, my daughters filled me in. The month of November is now known as Movember. The event was conceived in 1999 by a group Austrailian men from Adelaide. It grew into an event to raise awareness for prostate cancer and depression. The school held a fundraiser last Friday. The kids could dress as twins with someone and/or don a moustache. My twins had a leg up and chose to do both.
