Don’t Shave…It’s Movember; Bringing Awareness to Men’s Health

It's a good reason NOT TO SHAVE....Movember — a mustache movement during November to "change the face of men's health."

Why a mustache?

Basically, much of men's health problems comes from them not talking about them, not going to the doctors or seeking preventive tests for diseases such as testicular and prostate cancer. And forget about talking about mental health.

However, grow some facial hair, and everyone has something to say about it — from Mom to wife to strangers.

That is what a bunch of men in Australia found out in 2003 when they grew mustaches — known Down Under as a "mo." It sparked so many conversations that the next year they organized the effort so more men could harness all that attention for a good cause — to raise awareness and funds for men's cancers and mental health issues.

I will try no to shave and support the movement. It may get itchy.
