A couple of weeks back, Gavin challenged a few of us to grow a Moâ?? for charity. While I havenâ??t announced my participation until now, I have been growing my Moâ?? â?? along with a beard too.

Hereâ??s the short version of why, for the full story, please visit movember.com.

â??Movember (the month formally known as November) is a moustache growing charity event held during November each year.

At the start of Movember guys register with a clean shaven face. The Movember participants known as Mo Bros then have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache and along the way raise as much money and awareness about male health issues, in particular prostate cancer as possible.â?�

As you may have guessed, this post also comes with a solicitation for donations. If youâ??d like to sponsor my Moâ??, please visit http://www.movember.com/us/donate, enter my registration number, which is 171239, and your credit card details. Or you can sponsor me by cheque, made payable to the “Prostate Cancer Foundation”. Please clearly mark the donation as being for my registration number: 171239. Please mail cheques to: Prostate Cancer Foundation, Attn: Movember, 1250 Fourth St, Santa Monica, CA 90401.

So what have been some of the side benefits of going Moâ??? Well, in the last week Iâ??ve been told I look “rugged”, “sexy” and “hot” from women (including my wife, whom I love deeply.)

Don’t believe me? Check out The Bearded MG.

Hope youâ??ll Moâ?? along for the ride with me!
