About Movember
The Movember Foundation was co-founded by four friends in
Australia, 2004. The Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to
having an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health. Movember runs
official campaigns in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, United States of
America, New Zealand, Spain, the Netherlands, South Africa and Finland.
Movember started from a conversation between the friends;
critiquing the comeback of fashion trends from the past when the question was
raised, why no return of the moustache?
They felt that the Mo could do with a revival. So, with the seed
of an idea, they talked a couple of mates into growing a moustache for
one month and with that, Movember was born. In 2003, just 30 Mo Bros took part.
The rules were simple; start on Movember 1st clean shaven and spend the
remainder of the month growing a Mo. No money was raised; the idea was simply
to see who could grow the better moustache.
It wasn’t until 2004, having been overwhelmed by the
conversations prompted by the previous year’s growth, that the founders decided
to develop the idea into a cause that gave birth to the Movember Foundation.
Having recognised that men, unlike women, were lacking a way to
engage in their own health issues, they saw an opportunity to attach a purpose
to growing a Mo, and began to look for a cause for which they could raise a bit
of money and awareness in 2004. They came across the Prostate Cancer Foundation
of Australia(PCFA) representing a health issue about which very little was
known at the time.
In 2004, 450 Mo Bros took part and got their mates, friends and
families to sponsor the growth of their Mo’s and, to everyone’s surprise, they
raised $55,000. It was the largest single donation the PCFA had ever received.
Movember will continue to work to change established habits and
attitudes and make men aware of the health risks they face, thereby increasing
early detection, diagnosis and effective treatment.
