TUESDAY 12 OCTOBER 2010 // MO-MO-MOVEMBER

Well Gentlemen (and the odd lady or two, Eastern Europe, im looking at you) its that time of year again! thats right. Time to get the razors out once, and then trow them away! For its the month of the upper lip! Correct, Movember is coming!

As awesome as it is to be rocking a Mo, it is for a well worthy cause. It is the the aim of Movember to change the attitudes towards mens health by making male health fun in the way of putting the Mo back on the face of fashion and in the process raise some serious funds and awareness for the number one male health issue, prostate cancer.

So to register, donate or just get some more on the Low Down, head over to movember.com and get on board! Ya Herd!
