    I recall another year there was a thread about this which included men talking about how their moustaches were going, reactions they were getting, fundraising being done, etc.

    RTE article:
    Behind the moustaches: the other side of Movember

    November sees the return of the annual Movember fundraising campaign, which sees men across the world sprout moustaches to raise awareness and money for men’s health issues. A primary focus of the campaign is prostate cancer, which remains one of the most common cancers in men. It is estimated that one in eight men in Ireland will develop the disease at some point in their lives. However, thanks to better detection methods and different treatment options, 10-year survival rates have tripled to almost 85 percent over the past 40 years, illustrating that prostate cancer can often be successfully treated.

    I wonder what percentage of moustache farmers actually make the appointment to get themselves checked?
