Mustache Movember to raise cancer awareness
If you have spotted an increased number of men wearing mustache, this means Movember, a month dedicated to raise awareness of prostate cancer has kicked off!
This is the first time ever in Slovakia this program is launched, and its idea is to get men to grow a mustache during the month of November in order to build awareness to mens health and prostate cancer.
Bratislavian edition was started by Paul Heil, who had mother-in-law diagnosed with late stage cancer and felt personally motivated to promote Movember in Bratislava for men and their families to become more conscience of cancer.
Having originated in Australia, Movember was established as a charity program in 2004 to take place during the month of November. The idea quickly spread throughout Canada, the USA & Europe and is now known international.
As the organizers admit, the overall goal is to get as many people as possible to support their Movember Bratislavas Facebook page to then join the Movember party at Goblins Pub in Bratislava on November 30th and donate directly to Slovakias prostate cancer coalition.
