Apparently, It's 'Movember'

M ovember is taking over. I heard a little about the Movember madness but did some digging to find out exactly what it's all about.

During the month of November, the idea of Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of Men's health by encouraging them to grow a moustache.

But did you know that the idea originated in Melbourne, Australia in 2003 as a joke to "bring the moustache back"?

Fast forward six years-
In 2009, global participation of the event had over one million donors raising $42 million U.S. equivalent dollars for Movember’s global beneficiary partners.
